Who asked the question about the “team meeting”? Lol. That’s embarrassing.

Feels like good Calgary kids always go to places where they can hurt Calgary the most.

There's a lengthy list in my head already.

Haha. It’s been tough watching ex Hitman Getzlaf wrap up a full career including pulling that puck back over the line, ugh, and seeing guys like Point and Makar now.

Oof

If we're going to get a couple of spunky kids in there fielding questions to Sutter let's at least get Mike/Scorpion on the job.

Kristen.



Suggesting a players only meeting after a 5-game winning streak gets snapped, yikes.

Lets hope the team doesn't have this mentality otherwise it might be quickly over. A team that has been successful in the playoffs (Tampa), I could understand but not the Flames.

I went to both the games in LA and Anaheim last week, and when I compare it to watching games live last time they saw themselves in a similar position (2019), it feels different. Tonights game doesn't worry me per say, desperate desperate squad in Vegas showed up, my excitement however is tempered. Core has to prove it can elevate at a high high level in the intensity of the post season. They definitely seem to have some nicer pieces to the playoff puzzle compared to 2019, that should help support the core, and obviously have Sutter now too.

Hopefully all us Flames fans are in for a long gratifying playoff run.

Any word on Tanev?

[BLOCKEDCAT]

Need a stinker every so often to tilt the coach and wake everyone up and get them back on track. I expect next game to be completely different.

What word is needed? He played 17:42, most of it after the hit

Unfortunately, the players targeted the guy who appeared to apologize to Tanev after the hit, took multiple unnecessary penalties, which cost the team, and then lost. Didn’t work out well

Not to mention asking the coach about it

Hit the freaking net!!!

I don't think thompson was that good. The Flames shot it directly at him with low % shots and he got lucky alot of shots hit him while he was scrambling.

I get the record since the ASG and the recent six game winning streak but there is no denying that the team looks different than the one in February that was fast, structured and disciplined in all three zones of the ice. There was a stretch of fours weeks or so where the Flames were playing the best hockey we have seen in these parts in years.

I wasn’t able to watch the game. So just heard he had left with a possible concussion. Didn’t know he returned. Good

Schedule has not been friendly. These guys are bagged

Yes, he seemed fine, but the team was out of sorts

Agree, it's been a long season.

The schedule was so front loaded, and this recent few weeks should have been easier, but that Covid stretch plus rescheduling has made for a busy past while

I think Sutter hates Kristen Anderson's questions for the most part.

He seems at his grumpiest whenever she asks a very leading question with a story in mind. Even last game when asking about Guy Gaudreau he was short to say he knows more about Guy than she does.

[djsFlames]

He just wants Ws and for people to answer their own dumb questions.

[djsFlames]

The player meeting question to Sutter after a winning streak felt like a joke. The sad thing is it wasn't...that I could tell.

That better not be the case. There are no real opportunities to rest up prior to the playoffs...
