Know who's not having a good game tonight? Backlund.

So frustrating that we're constantly pissing away points to hated divisional rivals, especially on home ice. It's beyond embarrassing.

I LOVE when we play our 4th line with our 3rd pairing together.

They always look terrible but hey with last change, let's just try it more.

Dumb coaching

Top line and Gaudreau in particular have been sub par. They need to step up

Flames can't even get into the Canucks zone. They will be lucky to get a shot on net in the next ten minutes. Canucks playing very smart. Boring but smart.

agreeed, these divisional points get you into the playoffs. We're not doing well against the Pacific this year. Though we did get that much needed W in Anaheim.

Special teams continue to kill this team.
2 shots on net in the 3rd so far... pretty bad

Look at the vast difference of the aggressive forecheck by yet again another opposing coach and the total absence of "Gullys" he truly sucks.

Nope. The coach has no impact on the play at all. All our players have just decided to struggle consistently for a majority of their 5 on 5 minutes. There is nothing wrong with the system at all.

It doesn’t preach extreme caution in 5 on 5 situations. It doesn’t preach “50/50, mistake free” hockey that leads to the entire team playing scared.

Are they going to rely on another 10 game winning streak? VAN multiple injuries and CGY keeps sucking against depleted opponents

So disappointing

You realize some actually believe this.

But hey still time to tie the game up.

Opposing coaches now know that, since the Flames for whatever reason cannot prepare at all at home, all you do is forecheck the crap out of them, and they fold like cheap tents. Embarrassing effort. When is something going to change? What needs to happen for this nightmarish home play to end?

Been an awful game to watch, getting sick to my stomach watching Flames lose the same way to the Canucks. GG doesn't win this one and he will be under .500 to the Canucks and winless vs the Oilers. That is no good
