You're a Nucks fan, was Markstrom that reliant on Clark? Being our goalie coaches seem to have done very little based on performance year to year.

I've liked the effort tonight. But it's hard to win consistently in the league when your highest paid players can't produce.

No idea why Monahan and Gaudreau are still together. They can't score 5v5.

Everyone points to this and yet we have a new goalie coach. If anything, the constant in my eyes is the mediocre to poor ability of the team in front of Flames goalies eventually breaking them.

We're a **** franchise, with mostly **** teams that eventually break the sprit and compete of any hard working hockey player. I've seen it over and over with so many guys. And this franchise seems destined to build meddling teams for eternity, so get used to no goalie coming in and staying strong and true with a pile of crap in front of him.

Man do you ever have it in for him. He hasn’t had much of a game but you never miss an opportunity.

Do you ever point out his good play? It does actually happen. Occasionally.

I don’t blame you for being frustrated but this teams play is not all on 13.

Those two guys have been colossal failures this year. Absolute no-shows again. Even Tkachuk in a down year is still clowning those two.

Where are they? 13 especially!

Zero positive offensive impact!

As per tradition.

Must make it difficult for you to find highlights for your videos.

Tonight yes but overall I think Lindholm has been the best of those four and is producing about how he’s expected to.

To be fair, it hit nurse's stick.

Well at least we know Canuck Fans care about the BOA when the Flames are losing.

[Jig]

Our forward depth is really showing thanks BT very deep team of no good AHLs

[GioforPM]

Weak call. Two minutes for being stronger.

[Manhattanboy]

Time to give up.

[Bonded]

That was a weak call on Monahan

[fire_starter]

#### sakes Monahan

[Cali Panthers Fan]

I don't like that call. That's cheap.

[flylock shox]

In a way, this is about as good a game as we can hope for the rest of the season.


Pretty entertaining, Flames have had their stretches of good play, but they won't pick up any points and improve their draft chances.



Starting to worry about this Markstrom contract though. That's not going away too soon.

[blender]

Cheap ####ing call

He makes 6.75 mil to be an impact offensive player.

Nothing!

No the one this period. Swing and a miss.
