They instantly go from 5 losses in a row to points in 4 of 5.
It's pretty incredible... After a seemingly long losing streak, the team is two games above ".500". If only they could figure out how not to totally collapse in OT.
Flames had to win this one. Based on winning percentage, the Sharks are the 4th worst team in the league. A loss here would have been devastating. Have to do it again on Tuesday now. Hopefully at least one of Tavev or Zadorov are back.

Catastrophic breakdown in defensive coverage. Not on Kahk.
Quote:
D zone turnovers and Kahk losing glove side watching the shot the whole way, name a better duo this season
Quote:
Jeeeeeeeeeez that was a very bad turnover.
Quote:
That was lazy.
Quote:
It's one of those games that Megna reminds you he is an AHLer that has been over-performing whilst paired with one of the league's best dman.
The decision to pass back to Sturm was bad enough, but to than whiff on the pass too? Ouch.
Looch breaks the ice finally
Quote:
Nice play honestly
Quote:
Sturm Grier'ed it
Quote:
How did Sturm miss that?
Quote:
Adin Hill was pretty bad for us last year, so we traded for Kähkönen, and he seemed like an upgrade, so we kept him and traded Hill. Now Hill is playing much better and Kähkönen is playing like ass. I think there is something seriously wrong in this franchise with how consistently goalies play worse here. This is across multiple goalie coaches and head coaches as well.
Quote:
Haha the size difference between Simmer and Luc is hilarious
Quote:
They must have jet lag from the hour long flight from LA.
Quote:
They may want to consider benching Megna if he keeps playing like this.
Got Ourselves a Screamer

Anyone know what happened to the normal PA Announcer inside the arena? The new one is uhhhhhh very rough to say the least.
Quote:
Yea I thought I overheard her say something like "no no no no we don't like that at all" which was strange since I thought arena pa are there to pump up the crowd
Quote:
The new pa announcer tonight is not the normal one, she’s really not good. Just wondering if it’s temporary
3 goals against in under 2 minutes
Quote:
f*** f***
EDIT: f*** f*** x2
Quote:
Well that escalated quickly
Quote:
Yet another reason to love NHL officiating
Quote:
3 goals in less than 3 minutes. And Kahkonon wasn't doing that badly before the third period started.
Quote:
I have been moving, so I haven't been able to watch games. I finally found some time and watched 30 seconds of a game and saw my team get scored on twice.
Edit: 3 times.
Quote:
Haha. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Quote:
Thanks for your contribution to the Bedard tank
Quote:
HAHAHAHAAHAAHAA ####ing hell wtf
Quote:
Hertl has been so disappointing this season.
Quote:
#### off hertl.
Quote:
Kahkonen is a goalie in the national hockey league
Quote:
Welcome to the sap center.
Quote:
Alright I guess I shouldn’t have tuned in lmao
Quote:
Why does such a skilled player have moments where he completely loses his head?
Right after he receives a huge extension? This isn’t the first time it’s happened
Quote:
What in the #### is going on
Quote:
It's an impossible angle when the goalie is there.
Quote:
OML, Kahkonen,why… Why must you hurt me in this way.
Quote:
I'm over Kahkonen
Quote:
The fun thing about this, we play them again Tuesday
Quote:
Ugly period all around.
Quote:
Megna not having a good night.
Quote:
Our $8 million player completely changed the game by taking a selfish penalty.
Brilliant job Hertl. #### off
Quote:
This is an awful game of hockey
Quote:
Getting destroyed by the Calgary Kings
Quote:
Stupid penalty by Hertl leads to a goal they should never allow and the wheels fall off. This team is still worse than their numbers suggest and will get worse in the points column because they haven’t really slumped yet.
Quote:
Dude Tuesday is going to be so fun
Tank Commander Speech
Quote:
And Calgary scores another goal. What was said in the locker room.
Quote:
"Guys, we're doing too good lately. We've been in games and winning games and that's not the goal here. *points to a picture of Connor Bedard* That. That's the goal. Now go out there and do it for the future! I want to see bad passes, lacksadasical defence, sloppy turnovers, poor positioning, everything! Kahkonen, if you have the opportunity to whiff on a save, you take it. I wand you to look like a sieve full of swiss cheese. Alright guys, choke on 3. 1... 2... 3... CHOKE!"
Quote:
Tanktacular.
Quote:
One goal closer to Bedard.
Quote:
Tanko Tahnkonen
Quote:
Trade Reimer when possible...Kahkonen has shown he is a very capable tank commander.
Quote:
Never forget that Doug Wilson signed all these players and put this roster together with the intention of being competitive and making the playoffs. This isn't a blatant tank roster like Anaheim, Arizona or Chicago and they haven't sustained any significant season ending injuries like Columbus or Philadelphia. Wilson legitimately believed handing out top dollar max term contracts to this core was a winning strategy.
Quote:
You get your big contract and you breathe a sigh of relief, relax a bit and allow yourself to take it easy for a bit after having worked extra hard to get that paper signed. Then you can't find your stride again or get a bit lazy. And then you get frustrated, because you know you can do better and you are starting to disappoint everyone including yourself. So you end up doing stupid #### until you get back to the right mindset etc. Or you end up on a constant downward spiral.
Quote:
Lucic scores. Damn the Sharks are bad
Idiot Jets also choke their lead to the Kraken
Quote:
Lucic scored? Now he will never be out of the lineup again!
Quote:
Sj is even worse than ANA from my viewing.
Just absolute sh** on the PP and creating anything
Quote:
Technically they did it within 1:54
Quote:
Flames get another team coming off a back to back. Seems they get a lot of these this season (not like it's mattered much)
