We dont have a single player, other than Lindholm, with the ability to beat a goalie clean like that. Our offense is so pitiful, and a lack of shooters is half the reason.

It was nice that Brad got to give Lucic the silver stick tonight. Acquiring Looch was his finest accomplishment in the first 7 years of his time as our fearless GM. Highlight of the night.

Not to impugn the good name of the elite goaltending coaches in Calgary but this offseason should involve paying Vancouver’s goalie coach whatever he wants to get him here.

It is so obvious the core of this team is very broken. They have no ability to elevate their game to win. You have to change out the long term guys this offseason. Gio, Gaudreau, Monahan, and Backlund all need to be moved on.

No matter how you slice this is not a good team. Way too many holes, cut the head off

Funny, you guys were real quiet the last 5 games.

Another game where the Flames score 1 goal against the worst team in the division is more like it.

Quite a roster put together by this management team. Really something they should be proud of , as a real testament to how competent they are at their jobs in team building.

Anyways. The Flames issue isn’t goaltending anyways. They are just not good enough.

He fits right in with the rest of the team.

Yup. The only one I'd like to keep is Lindholm. Trade Tkachuk for, hopefully, a ransom too.

The Flames scored 1 and then couldn’t produce on back to back power plays. It’s not Markstroms fault.

I know you meant good, but they aren’t hood enough either.

Blame the goalie all you want. One goal for..last game. One goal for tonight.

Flames need Sawchuk, Dryden or Hasek to win.

It’s not on the goalie. He can’t score. This team just gives up. They never play with urgency. They have no reliable offence.

They never use the one timer on the pp. the team is telling management that they are ready for the canners. It’s so sad since the values of these guys indicate they want out and will tank their values to do so.

This season has been an unmitigated disaster.

Is sutter concerned Kelly? He’d rather be ranching at least there hard work gets things done. He won’t have to deal with these Instagram hockey players. I’m kinda starting to hate hockey. So many rich kids. Where’s the desperation? Where’s the love of the game? Oh yeah we traded those types of players for futures.

I think Tkachuk is young enough he can rebound nicely. Those other 4 though have been mainstays here. If you really want to change the culture of this team those four guys have to move on.

Tkachuk sucks so much. Just fire the puck blindly anywhere to nobody.
