When is "good in the room" Troy Brouwer going to morph into the equally preposterous "beast in the playoffs" Troy Brouwer?
Honestly I had this hope that when we got into games that count we'd see Brouwer find his stride, find some competitive fire and remember what made his so good in the playoffs last year. I mean some players have that playoff switch.
Clearly Brouwer was a one hit wonder and the switch is still sitting in a box in a warehouse somewhere.

Whoever did make those comments about Dougie should no longer be involved with Flames broadcasts at least.
Like you've never spoken ill of a player before amongst friends?
Some lowlife recorded this/leaked this audio when it was a private conversation between colleagues after the fact. Pretty sad world we live in when the lynching is already starting for something that in no way needed to be brought to public light.
Way to potentially cost someone their career over a private conversation guys.

Oh I am, because I'm talking about not being about to get even one measly fluke win out of it. Try to read and understand instead of doing your usual pot shots and begging for an argument, it's tiring.
28 games is over a third of a regular season, even the worst team in the NHL would be able to luck out against the best team a couple times in that span. It's obviously not a curse but it's not about being the inferior team, because even a crappy team would get one or two out of it. This has got to be an unprecedented losing streak in one building.
FYI I believe the Flames set a pro-sports record (not just hockey) for straight losses in an opposing team building last year or the year before
The holding penalty on Hamilton was a clear as day, regardless of the mix up.
I suggest watching it again.
And what about Perry interfering with him right before that? What about the Ducks player vs Hamilton in the corner earlier in the same shift?
It's a chincy call at that point in the game when you've already let so much go.
It's not that it's not a penalty, it's about what they choose to call and ignore. There's no consistency. The refereeing has been ####ing BS all year. Makes me not want to watch this joke of a league.

Hamilton deserves to get tee'd off on. He has been f'ing pathetic. I hate the officials as much as the next person but why he choose to grab that stick and hold onto to it is beyond me, especially when the puck is at centre. He is an idiot.
Yes, I did. In fact, I woke up at 4am to watch it.
Dominated? If they hax, they should have scored at least 4 or 5. You cannot score only 2 goals and call it domination. But that does not ma tter. They LOST! Why? Because they are the most undisciplined teams in the league, consistently taking dumb penalties.
Game one they lost because of a line change. A. Line. Change. Yeah, they're real winners all right...
Take off your homer glasses.
You're claiming the series is over as if we are losing 4 or 5 to nothing.
And a loser mentality from players? Bad bounces and dumb mistakes are all part of the game and happens both ways. The Ducks just capitalizes on those opportunities.
The joys of hockey is there are different ways to win and honestly anyone can, especially in the cap era. Show me a team in the playoffs that are winning 5-0 every game.
You're acting as if they don't play hard or try to win, when they were clearly the better team today.
Are we taking dumb penalties and making bonehead plays? Yes. Are the Ducks a more skilled team? Definitely, but this isn't the NBA where the top team can go all the way every season.
Loser mentality? Cmon, that's what makes your post embarrassing. It's a game of milliseconds and split second decisions.
Take a second to actually absorb the game and look at it with a bit of objectivity.
