[GT] Game 1: Flames @ Canucks - 6 years is far too long

[dammage79]

Do we Flames fans really need the media guys to felate us with Flames talk? I don't think so.

[Dion]

Flames best period is coming up!

[BigFlameDog]

Hughson is so awesome.....when he's not calling the Canucks

Pretty obvious Monny's hurt. Between that and it being he and Gaudreau's first playoff game it's no surprise they've been MIA.

Both top lines have been pretty invisible thus far.

I'm disappointed in you all...lol...we all know the Canucks are dirty and cheap. As the series goes on the riffing will even out and the refs will get their games together.

We are Flames fans! Our team will do us proud!!!!!

Go Flames Go!!!!!!

[CgyFlamesftw]

And here come the hf fan boys saying horvat>Monahan. Hahaha.

[Beer-gut Murray]

Listen everyone.
The flames are getting their form back. We are still a little nervous. We're seeing Bennett emerge as a new threat. We're very much in this game still. I wish the zebras were accountable for their missed calls.

They compliment individual Flames players now and then but just in quick passing and matter of factly, as an opposing pbp would. Definitely not with the same enthusiasm as for the Canucks.

I don't care about Lack. I don't care about his dad or his twitter or how popular he is. Why are they filling a national broadcast with this homer junk?

FWIW, the canucks board is complaining about the commentators favoring Calgary.

Definitely. That was a lucky bounce on that Canuck goal, nothing more. Momentum was in Calgary's favor until that point, more of that energy in the third and this can a different game.

Except for the Bennett call ... was it not the playoffs then?

[Delthefunky]

Dear god Burrows that's pathetic..

I'm pretty sure smacking someone in the face with your stick is a penalty in the playoffs too.

Especially after the Bennett penalty.

[Zulu29]

Ok here we go! Big third period! Time to destroy these dirty nuck divers!!

[Southside]

Enough with the Habs Sens game. We saw it.

Hughson sucks.

That would be fine, were it not for the absolute phantom call that was the first Canucks' power play. They had 3, and then there were two blatant penalties missed in the last 5 mins of the third.

Between the reffing bias and the commentary, it's been insufferable so far.

[FlamesNation23]

Flames have gotten no respect all year and CBC is showing that isn't gunna change now either

[flylock shox]

I'd like to see Monahan Hudler Jooris. Gaudreau Bennett Colborne.

Need to spread out the offence a bit more.

[Mattman]

Vancouver just pisses me off so much!!!!


Burrows is a little #### and is such a rat. Bieksa is a complete tool, that Colbourne line is putting him up though, good to see.

And I don't know if the fans are just stupid or trying to be D-bags whenever they can.


Despite the bad bounce the Flames looked like the stronger team by a little bit.

Big 20 minutes. You earned the playoffs boys, now you gotta prove you are the better playoff team.

GO FLAMES GO!!
