[PGT] Flames lose 4-2, trail series 2-1

[the_only_turek_fan]

I am jealous of people that got to experience 1989.

I was 6 barely remember it.

There will be a lot of bad takes in this thread, I won’t add to it.

[Inferno]

The team blew it but Eric Furlatt is a piece of trash who should have been fired years ago. There were multiple times Dallas should have been called but nope. Just the Flames.

It’s incredibly annoying. I was hoping they’d just ignore him and play hockey. Instead they’ve made this sideshow a priority and it’s embarrassing.

A sign of immaturity.

[calgARI]

One team is focused and the other is not.

One team has clear leadership and the other does not.

Looking like another outstanding season choked away.

[DropIt]

Team needs to take a look at themselves. Sutter included. Whatever he has changed, change it back

[bigrangy]

Flames probably win that game 70% of the time. But they just can’t buy a bounce. Nice to see the 4th line get one.

Toffoli ####ing blows. Worse than Brouwer.

[zamler]

Perimeter play defines their game. Dallas skates straight to the net (including winning goal) Flames merry go round the puck then get a weak shot from the point.

Heck bring in the entire Stockton Heat forward group. Would it really be a downgrade at this point?

[MonaTone]

That's series, this team cannot ramp up to playoff effort.

I don't even know about that given our playoff history.

They always find a way to lose come playoffs.

Dumb dumb might have broke his hand

[Mr.Coffee]

This is not Sutter intensity.

Not hitting. Not shoving. Looking scared. Not playing fast, not moving the puck. Just generally not playing the way we all know they can.

Tkachuk is injured obviously, maybe don’t play injured players?

Super ####ing annoying but if you can win the next one you get home ice back.

Lazy comment.

I get the frustration but that team was getting steam
Rolled in every game that Colorado series. That is not happening here.

[bubbsy]

Flames sucked.

Makrstom is not elite.

Just lose. I don't think I could deal with the oilers walking right over the flames next round.

[1Nite]

Flames lose by two big ones.

I don't feel like the defense is the problem.
It's once again the forwards.
Goaltending, D and the 4th line are fine.

It's the top 9 forwards that haven't showed up.

[Vedder]

Middle 6 a complete no show this series

Hated the winning goal, but they certainly created more tonight while being pretty stingy, albeit not as much as Games 1/2.

Win on Monday and I like their chances in a best of 3 with two at home.

They've been the better team in all 3.

But if you don't score enough goals to win, then it doesn't matter.

[Ashasx]

I honestly can't believe how listless the team looked in the last 5 minutes. Outside of the Gaudreau breakaway, there were zero chances for 5 minutes.

How does this always happen. Why is this the exact same way we played in 2019 and 2020.

What is going on

Why do I do this to myself
