What the hell just happened? I was following the score on the NHL app and it said 2-1 Flames at the end of the 3rd but then all of a sudden changed to 4-2 Knight final. I'm shocked!

I'd like to not only add that this sort of stuff happens in NHL 18 only, it happens when some guy wants to troll his own team and does so by retrieving the puck and immediately skating back to shoot on his own goalie. I usually report those people.

Frolik did that tonight. I don't know what to say or think at this point.

Isn't that just it though. You could just tell it was coming.

Ya, definitely. He could've just button hooked and backhanded the puck off the glass and out. Took the route that was easiest and dumbest.

They put themselves in such a good position with the 7 game streak and now it's looking like they'll need another one soon to make the playoffs.

So sick of trying to win 2-1 bs grind it out games. When's the last time we scored a quick goal like that Marchessault game winning snipe?

The team is capable, obviously, but there is something in the mentality on/around the bench to where they can't maintain focus and motivation at key times. I'd call out the leaders and coaches.

We could've used the top line's A game tonight as well.

GG with YET ANOTHER rookie decision that plays into the results. I wouldn't rag on him if this wasn't a recurring thing, but it has been.

Might be best to take a break from Flames hockey for awhile. This isn't good for my sanity. Words cannot describe the sheer stupidity I just witnessed.

Well F***!! The game was going great until Frolik took a nice wrister at Smith.

Frolik was also was trash tonight. He should've taken another week off.

Overall, another average showing by the flames at home. With another loss.

Dave Cameron and Co. Needs to go

It is tough to choke that badly, I mean it. That kind of mentality in a team is a tough culture to develop. Keep your fake loser point parity excuses, that’s 5 straight losses. Boy those guys must really be chapped about that.

How does anyone look at this team's performance thus far this season and think "yeah this team will make the playoffs", never mind "yeah this team will do well in the playoffs".

Something is absolutely rotten here.

Once again I feel bad for Smith he made some great saves. He had no chance on the tying goal Frolik tossed the puck to him out of nowhere.

BUT the game was still tied up and winnable, stone face does sweet #### all to calm the team down. Very angry right now.

That sucked, but the Flames were the better team. Bad break, unfortunately the Flames needed those points.

Gross, absolutely disgusting finish. Solid 5 loses in a row, blowing leads in every game. Flames have zero killer instinct.
