"High Danger" scoring chances are 7-3 Calgary.
Hmmm... I guess they are counting the chances where the Flames have shot three feet wide as dangerous? I guess for any team with aim they would be.

Stare intently into that magic tablet, Gully. The answer is in there somewhere, surely.

Lol, all I said was he made the call and you got your panties in a bunch. Do you have a PVR? Rewind it and watch for yourself instead of digging your heels.

I am guessing we will be hearing about a "players only meeting" after tonight or if they lose tomorrow night, which likely won't accomplish anything but that's my prediction.

Keep the kids as far away from this as possible. The minute we start calling up the pups, is the minute we have gone full Oiler.

Every game ends with a players only meeting, Gully doesn't talk to them

Gaudreau looks like he's concussed.

Jays should sign some of the Flames, they are throwing a no-hitter.

Someone's head has to roll right? Gettin blasted in the 2 most important games, one vs your biggest rival, then let a team without their no.1 Dman who got lit the #### up last game blow you out. This team needs to get rid of all this ####ing dead weight. So many useless no productive bums who have gotten a pass the pat 3 years. I've seen enough of these ####ty veterans

Yeah, Gulutzan said in the postgame the other night that he doesn't talk to the team before(i believe) and after the games win or lose.

What I would like to see is someone that deserves it be called up. There's a few guys having strong seasons in the A, yet the Flames only seem to want to call up the same players over and over again.

The goaltending hasn't been good enough, give Rittich a shot. What's the worst that can happen, you lose in a blowout? Guess what, that's already happening. Best case scenario, he shocks the world and plays lights out. They have nothing to lose.

The team playing like this could have a lot to do with the fact that they have no confidence in their goalie's. We've seen that story before but it doesn't seem like they learned much from it. Don't let it fester, deal with it before the damage is too much to recover from.
Makes sense. If we are to critique BT for one thing that we have definitive answers on at the moment, is he's failed to get this team NHL level goaltending. Oil fully admit I thought he nailed it this offseason, but clearly not.

Not an easy problem to solve, this team had 0 goalie assets potential when he took over the team, and little we could afford to give up to get it. Might have to give up something we wouldn't have thought to get it now, as I don't get the impression any if our young goalies will be ready when our young core improves further.

If there were a way to leverage Gio into a netminder, that would be near. But for now, might as well try anything.

How many times does Ball say, "and that didn't miss by much" in a game?

There's more intensity in this topic than the Flames have shown for several games.

Sad, but I'm looking less and less forward to crossing off a bucket list item and watching the Flames in MSG in a few weeks.
