I hate the way people here turn on the team the moment things don't go our way.

But was that second period good hockey? I think of good hockey as a tight 2-2 game going into the dying minutes. Not a 4 goal let down.

You play much differently on the defensive side of the puck when you know your goalie can't stop a beach ball.

ramo game 6 vs vancouver

[Johnny Makarov]

You just cannot trust Elliot in important games. Hail Mary, sign Ramo asap!!!

[dissentowner]

Switched back to the SN feed. Anything to try and stop the hurt.

[Manhattanboy]

No way this is on Elliott.

[SkunkyJosh]

Why our goalie is so bad?

[locsofblu]

Let's see what this team is made of.

How has Stone looked?

1) It really isn't when it's because the other team plays great hockey. It's just the way the game is.

2) It won't matter if the Flames win the game. Which they could still do.

[Art Vandelay]

I think this period is going to show what these Flames are made of. Good or bad.

[mdubz]

I blame this on Chaisson being back in the lineup.

The expansion draft gives the Flames a rare and unique opportunity to grab a potential young stud like Saros if the Preds are gonna protect Rinne. Other potential targets could be Korpisalo, Mrazek, Pickard, etc that are young guys with great potential but could be lost by their current teams in the expansion draft.

That makes way more sense than older, overpaid, average goalies like Fleury.

I've been advocating for Korpisalo for a few months now. Just feel like he's the type of young goalie that could flourish if given the opportunity.

We've self destructed. We're not coming back here.

Honestly it probably wouldn't make a huge difference, but the team could really have used Hathaway tonight I think.

[TheScorpion]

I have good reason to believe that the Flames will come back to win this one

You can't keep asking a goalie to bail you out when you give him zero run support or fold like a creased shirt as soon as he lets one in.

The Flames have desperately needed an all-star goaltender way too many times this season. We don't have it, but we have a guy who should be good enough. The team need to be better.

His numbers are pure garbage this season, and he's had more bad games than good. If the Flames have mid pack goaltending
We are sitting pretty right now.

None of the goals tonight we're bad, but none were unsaveable, except maybe the last one.

Elliot stinks, I can't see how anyone would argue that given his body of work this year.

[calgaryblood]

Saros is a stud. I want him.

[Manhattanboy]

Stone must be thinking what the )$&@ did I get myself into.
