[PGT] Flames lose 3-2 in OT

[Savvy27]

Wolf was really great tonight. The guys battled like crazy out there. Pospisil with 11 hits, Hanley with 24+ mins played.... Seriously for an overmatched team this group has kept it interesting and made the fans proud.

Lots of weird/bad decisions with the puck tonight but that might just be what happens against a big, fast, skilled, and solid defensive team like Vegas.

No quit. No panic. Now take care of business in California, hope for some help from Dallas and get back into a playoff spot on Friday.

Reilly Smith stole this one...without his two goals they get zero points
Drai stole the game last weekend

You don't need to apoligize for a player on your team playing well

The bar I was in, patrons were all standing and ready to cheer if Backs had score. Then came a loud groan and words of disappointment.

Like someone else said. Good to have meaningful hockey in April. Before the season started I thought if Wolf flopped they might not win a game.

They have delivered tons of excitement. Even if they come up short great season for the organization.

Was a good game to be at, that's the loudest I've heard the 'Dome in a long time.

Wasn't a fan of Linesman #74, thought he did a poor job on the face offs and kicked too many guys out. Caused alot of interruptions

[GioforPM]

Weird game. Deserved to lose in regulation, tied coming back from 2. Deserved to win in OT, lost via fluke.

[Goriders]

Eichel bitched a lot about that (faceoffs)

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. It seemed like the linesmen in general were trying to inject themselves into the game way too much. Really seemed odd seeing so many guys getting bounced from the face offs.

I honestly can't remember a game where a linesman was so noticable for their inability to drop the puck.

I think it's honestly the worse game I've ever seen from a linesman.

I am guessing you did not actually watch the game.
I would guess expected goals against in the first period alone was probably 3

Wolf did indeed steal the point tonight. made some unbelievable saves

[kobasew19]

Felt the same way. It’s a bad sign when you know the number of the linesman.

Boys battled hard, even if we don’t make it Ive thoroughly enjoyed this last part of the season. Keep it going and don’t give up!

[Rhett44]

The guys on after burner were talking about how Wolf was so good and basically stole us another point.

Is there any goalie in the league you would take long term over Wolf right now? I know it's only one season, but to be this good in his first full time year is absolutely crazy.

[Skaloper]

Great game but the problem is 0-4 on the power play that for most of them looked like a train wreck! Thankfully no short-handed goals against due to Wolf. Was tough having Coronato out for a good chunk of the third.

Another great effort, another dagger from the hockey gods. I don't know how the boys manage to keep going at this point, the hockey gods have been absolutely merciless to them.

How many times in the last 10 seasons - league wide - has a puck sat literally at the edge of the goal line like that? I can't think of any other examples. And it happens TWICE to the Flames in a week. The Flames. The team that was robbed of a cup because of a puck just over the line, a team who's identity since 2004 has been "it was in". It is so ridiculously unlucky that one can only conclude that there ARE Hockey Gods, and somewhere, somehow, we have forsaken them.

Agree with the other posters: the linemen were horrible last night, and far too visible. Even Mrs Root commented on it during the game - possibly the first time she has made mention of a linesman, ever.

[Paulie Walnuts]

It’s getting out of hand how much the officials needs to be in the spotlight. The NHL won’t do a damn thing.

It's those awful black magic rituals of 2022. We must repent
