[killer_carlson]

Stock says it well

Intimidated
Slow
Small
No compete

Highlights from the first two periods.

Spoiler!

At least they're not playing great and losing. They deserve to be losing because they're not playing their game at all. PJ was right.......they look slow and intimated. Not on their game at all.

Wow. Men against the boys tonight. Just nothing really good to say about the Flames tonight. Those who predicted Flames in 4,can I have some of what you were smoking?

This comment just made me so mad. Good call.

May as well sit Bennett the next 3 games so we don't waste a year on his ELC. This series is going no where for us.

[BigRed]

These guys can be way better and they know it. I expect a different team for game 2. Let's just get out of this one with no more injuries.

[Matty81]

Wolf has to come in if ferland is out. They look small and physically intimidated... Bollig is the only forward with any physical factor at all and he's not great. Maybe colborne a bit too on occasion.

[Since1984]

also where are the cars??

[dieHARDflameZ]

Honestly, I'm not saying the Flames should go out and attempt to injure someone or anything, but I did not like Thompson's play on Ferland or his hit from behind on Gaudreau.

I would not be completely opposed to sending a bit of a message at this point.

Would love to see it, but why would the Ducks engage?

I would love to see Bolig go after Jackman if he gets a chance....but not sure Boudreau wants to see any of that stuff.

[greyshep]

Looks like men vs boys out there tonight.

Rotten start, let's get out of this one without anymore injuries and make the necessary adjustments for game 2.

Hes terrible, and we've been spolied with Ball.
Stock showing clips, taking about the Flames turning away from hits... well, all clips but 1 had a Flame finishing a check.
Flames gave the Ducks two gift goals, Hiller with a shaky one, and 3-0 makes things look a lot different.

Flames have had more chances this game then the road losses In Vancouver.

Set the tone in the third, get a goal or two, and no more injuries, and take an extra run at a couple Ducks.and will take out chances in Game 2.

just for you, Ashasx

I love people giving up after 40 minutes of Game 1. Glad you weren't in charge of the team in December.

Yep, great point. I bet Treliving and Burke are totally discussing that in the pressbox right now.

[Travis Munroe]

Gratts, get on the treadmill.
Wolf, start lifting some weights

We look Canuck intimidated.

[ForeverFlameFan]

We got our way with Vancouver because of their lack of physical play back at us.

Anaheim hits back, and their hits are much harder.

This game is going exactly as I expected.
