It did change the period for sure.

More troubling than what? The fact we suck?

Seems slightly less troubling to me.

I know we don't deserve much of the intermission attention but was the goal we scored compete garbage because I don't think they've shown it.

[MillerTime GFG]

I don’t know why y’all decided to tune into this game in the first place. This was so predictable.

I always find the meltdowns by most of you entertaining. I don't agree with most of you about the team or the coach but I'll go back into forum lurker mode.

I'm a just jump in here post a bottle 'o rum to say I do like the Blasty unis.

Though I wish they had actually done a red one instead (or a white one). Or something even nuttier. I think they're still a bit too tame for what the reverse retro should be, in my opinion (which is "take a silly jersey from the past and make it even weirder").

I can't wait to hear about Treliving as the bridesmaid for another deal. He is just too smart to get a deal done.

I'm not saying this is an elite team, but Geoff Ward isn't even giving them a chance with his insane decisions.

Who is your PK lineup against McDavid? When a regular PKer is in the box?

[djsFlames]

"Stop hitting yourself"

Would aptly describe the Flames since period 2 against WPG.

Wake the hell up.

Gio looks exhausted. Time to cut his minutes but who takes over?

When I torture myself, I like to double it up, or triple, or quadruple.

I was thinking of bashing my balls with a hammer. Maybe wearing a cilice. Any other ideas?

Note: must be as painful as watching flames play or worse. So no wimpy torture please.

Frankie: Boy. You wanna talk about some pain? Ibought one o’ them linoleum knives the other day, youknow?

Willie: With the double edge?

Frankie: Right.

Willie: Yeah?

Frankie: So, I go home, you know, and I spreadmy toes apart and I just start sawing, back and forthand back and forth, you know?

Willie: Mm hmm.

Frankie: And I take a little thing o’ Tobascosauce, you know?

Willie: Yeah.

Frankie: And just dump it on there. Talk abouta hotfoot, mister! Boy, that was rough.

Stay the course boys. Gotta double shift Nordstrom. Poor guy missed a shift when he took a dumb penalty

[Mass_nerder]

Markstrom was literally the only bright spot of that entire period. It should probably be 3-1 at least.
I don't understand what could have changed over the break, but the time off literally broke us. We looked good before, and haven't looked even close to that since coming back.

I’m thinking Flames come out guns blazing in the second.

[TheSquatch]

The Tkachuk penalty was phantom, for sure. But they didn't score on that one. To blame a whole period's momentum on a penalty... well, that's a weak team then.

I see no system. I see no speed. I see no possession, no focus, and not much battle except for a few guys.

There's a pile of good players on this team. And the team sucks.

Coach is all I got at this point, and they've been through a bunch of those as well.

This is ugly.

[SuperMatt18]

Watch the teams systems in the offensive zone tonight.

Oilers with lots of motion, get the puck to the point, and then get players moving across the lanes for tips.

Flames system is uhhh, throw the puck in the corner and hope for the best?

No kidding. This team has a decent lineup, they just have no direction and the bench management is the worst. I don't know how anyone can defend the decision making of this group.

Was a bit of a busted play but was still nice.

Why are you on here if you did not tune into this game? Are you trolling?
