Yeah the kids picking 3 stars and then the bumpers with minor league teams screaming at the camera are so horrible

Flames, no drive, no intensity, no heart.

Just a bunch of lazy plugs happy to collect their paycheques.

Hometown Hockey, Gulutzan and Brouwer can all goto the same place this summer and not come back.

Have the Flames thrown a hit on the forecheck yet? Opposition D beyond comfortable.

those seven periods from the Penguins game through the first period of the sens game were nice. Back to gully hockey, I guess.

I think the idea is fine, but the execution is horrible. It's either extremely boring or extremely cringe inducing.

Well that's Rogers in a nutshell when it comes to NHL broadcasting.

I really hope the Flames make a decision about this coaching staff before I have to make a decision on season ticket renewal. The flames could Win every game for the rest of the year and win a round or two in the playoffs and it wouldn’t change my mind. This system is the most boring, mundane thrash hockey I’ve ever had to sit through. Zero excitement being at the dome anymore. Would rather be at home prepping for the walking dead than sitting here at the dome.

Flames have 14 shots, the vast majority of which were again useless low quality ones. Executing the system to perfection.

Hopefully Tkachuk moving up to the 1st line helps generate the needed offence, but I think Monahan is dragging Johnny down a bit right now.

This has weighed in on my decision to renew as well.The quality of hockey under Gulutzan is awful, and it doesn't result in wins. As a season ticket holder, I can forgive losses if the game is really entertaining - it's still a good night of entertainment. When the entertainment value is non-existent, and the joy of victory is also lacking...yeah, it's a tough pill. The Dome just hasn't been an enjoyable trip this year.

Wtf was GG thinking not pulling Smith after the first two goals? The second goal was awful- his reaction time was slower than a herd of snails moving through peanut butter.. it's not like this game is important..

So what does that involve?

I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. I think, no I KNOW they have it in them. This is a more talented team than the Isles. I would love to see line shakeups and pond hockey for the second. We have nothing to lose if we are just using this game to get Smith up to speed. I'm ready for some exciting hockey in the second. Go Flames Go!!

Coming out to play like this in a game this important has been all too frequent lately. This is unacceptable.

It really pisses me off that the Flames feed on Centre Ice is always so choppy that I have to watch the other teams' feed. I hate watching American teams and their 'in game' player interviews and coach interviews.
