[PGT] Flames Punk Themselves. 2-0 DAL

[Manhattanboy]

Maybe Sutter's team will show up in Game 3.

DAL is terrible. They had nothing tonight. They aren't the least bit scary.

NSH would have blown us out tonight 5 or 6-0.

The Calgary kid in Colorado single-handedly has more goals than the Calgary team here

I think game three will tell us all we need about this team.

If this series goes the wrong way, it is going to cost Chucky and Johny millions of dollars each.

[The Big Chill]

Deep breath everybody. You’d think we lost by 5 based on the comments. This was always going to be a tight series.

[Coach]

If Tkachuk could focus on the hockey game instead of trying to fight everyone it’s a different game. Can’t get onside cuz your busy picking a squabble. Play the game!

[Mass_nerder]

Frustrating game, but I really didn't think we played poorly.
The key to the playoffs will be secondary scoring. Sure, we can get on Gaudreau-Lindholm-Chucky, but Toffoli, Mangiapane, Coleman etc... have been ice cold for what feels like months. We need a lot more from them.

[driveway]

If we can't score this series, I do not want to resign Gaudreau at any price. There's that's my emotional knee-jerk reaction.

[Inferno]

I didn't think they would sweep but I hoped they would win both at home.

That was pretty disappointing to watch. Too much passing and too many shots right at the goalie when they did shoot.

[minnow]

Is screening the goalie not done these days?

[Ferarri]

Pretty surprising that there’s such a lack of chemistry right now. All lines look out of sync with the exception of maybe the Lucic group. People are definitely justified in being upset as this was a fear going into the playoffs. Would the same mentally fragile group show up or would Sutter have them on a different level. Too early to tell but 1 goal in 6 periods is cause for concern.

Also, blaming the crowd is a joke. There hasn’t been much to cheer for and they brought the heat at the right times. Not going to lie, this has probably been the worst series as far as entertainment value. Can only do so much when the game is so boring.

Sutter has shown this team how to be a checking team. How to defend. They've brought in physicality.

Sutter needs to show this team how playoff offence works. Our top line has looked as ineffective as the entire playoff history of this iteration of the flames core. Pure perimeter hockey.

It should be a 0-0 game in OT but Hanafin was pretty bad, especially early on.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Sutter has his work cut out for him now. Same old mental midgets crumbling when the playoff games get tight.

Game 3 is huge for their confidence. Lose that one and I'm not sure if this group will recover.

Happy to see that there are positive and rational comments here

That actually makes it even more frustrating. At no point did Dallas ever look good or dangerous. Not for a single minute in two games. One Noah turnover was the difference.

Hi. We are Flames fans. Most of us know how to wear red, but apparently it's just an illusion to overcompensate for our lack of ability to show life.



Okayish effort by the Flames. Lousy fans.

[Caged Great]

If anyone can pull the Flames head out of their posterior it's Darryl.

That being said, Dallas isn't very good themselves. In 2 games they have had only a handful of chances and most of those were off flames errors.

[NewFan]

Someone needs to cash on rebounds. Just shoot to the pads and try score dirty goal in crease.

[Mass_nerder]

I'm also hoping the ice is better in Dallas, because our top line success comes from great passing, but when the puck is bouncing around like crazy, that kind of goes out the window.

[klikitiklik]

Worst. Game. Ever.

[N-E-B]

Holy hell this has been one awful series to watch.
