Bonus points for the correct phrase. Not medal, not petal.

A PP would be nice to turn things around, and in a physical game like that it'd be great for Lucic to make an appearance.

I’ve thought Backlund has been dog #### tonight. I’ve counted three or four times when it looks like his controller was disconnected.

You guys shouldn't be too upset about the score, the Panthers have done this to pretty much everyone at home so far.


When they come to Calgary they'll forget how to play hockey like they do on the road so you'll get the revenge, even if they can't come back here.

He kept the Flames in the game that whole period.

Flames allow 21 shots in a period and you blame the goalie for a 2 on 1 goal

It's a bad take

This is more the exception than the norm... I believe they have averaged around 20th in the league in terms of points during his tenure. The playoff success also leaves something to be desired.

That said Lomberg is not something I hold against Tre. I'm happy for Lomberg as he seems like a decent dude.

It's a really fun game so far, hopefully the Flames will take over in the 3rd.

Mangi made a nice save in the second. He'll score in the 3rd.

Yeah, I hope we take the road Panthers out behind the wood shed.

This game has annoyed me since I'm not used to seeing any team suffocate us Sutter style.

[GioforPM]

Wow, Duclair is fast. Skated past Oliver there.

Flames have 31 shots themselves. Seems like Bobs been able to keep it together on his end under similar pressure.

Post by Kylington and finally the refs give the Flames a PP

Well, he did let in the weakest goal of the game.

The 2nd goal on Bob was worse than anything Markstrom let in tonight.

[activeStick]

Oh my, what a move by Johnny

[N-E-B]

I think it’s time for the Flames to look at replacing Mony on the top unit. I’m pulling for him so hard but unfortunately he just doesn’t seem to have it anymore.

Agree with you there. But this is a results based sport. Weakest goal or not he's still let in the least.


Here's hoping the Flames change that in the 3rd.

[3rd liner]

Just tuned in second period. Missed the gudas hit on Jonny. Did anybody tune up that bearded dough-head? Heard there were some scrums.

[Yoho]

Forgettable PP.

They finally got one…and that’s all they manage? Blurgh.

A faster/more intense player at least challenges for that Gaudreau rebound.

Would love to see FLA in a seven game series.
