[PGT] WCQF Game 1: Flames 2 - Ducks 3

[pylon]

They just aren't as good. Love the Flames, but they are the inferior team by a massive margin. And Johnny is invisible against big physical teams, and always will be. A boy in a mans game.

The fact they get killed every time in Anaheim has nothing to do with 'magical voodoo curses'. It's simply they have been an inferior team for the last decade.

Hamilton was not good tonight

Yes

That was crap-tastic. Holy ####. Mistake mistake mistake. We had chances but can't capitalize, Gibson was solid though.

Lots of dumb in this game.

Dumb line change.

Dumb penalties all over the place.

Dumb 5 on 3 PP.

Elliott, Ferland and Monahan were the only ones worth a damn.

Someone please beat the #### out of Kesler on Saturday. Don't even care if it results in a suspension or penalties.

[CGY12]

Scared bunch of pansies I tell you. Down 1 goal and that is the 3rd period you come up with? If it weren't for Elliot this game would have been 8-2. This team has no chance of winning this series.

[Thor]

The best NHL team in the final 15 regular season games, a team that has dominated us, and yet we still had a glimmer of hope in that awful, penalty filled game..

Guess that's something lol

I'm sick of watching the Flames lose in Anaheim. I can't take it anymore. I won't watch another Flames game played at Honda Center until after the break the streak. #### that, I'm sick of watching this stupid self-destruction. I'll watch the home games, but I am done watching them lose in Anaheim. I'll watch the highlights when they finally win, that's good enough for me.

[wingmaker]

On the positive, Monahan looked terrific.

[flamesfever]

The Flames really let down their goaltender tonight. They could have won this game without the dumbest line change of all time, and the needless penalties.

Just no. The game was coached fine. What killed them were one horrible line change and a handful of bad penalties. You really think Bartkowski's 14 minutes or Stajan's 11 minutes are what cost the Flames the game?

Coach doesn't forecheck.

Also doesn't look like they rolled all four lines. Fourth line only had 10 min of play

Get Hathaway here please!

[Rubber Ducky]

Getzlaf was awesome. A beast. Johnny was invisible.

[1qqaaz]

Does Hamilton really expect to win when he alone takes 3 penalties?

At least the Moose was pretty good tonight

[bigrangy]

Gaudreau was bad

Backlund was bad

Got out-coached

Work on the most basic #### and game 2 is winnable

[Scrambler]

Stupidity cost the game for the Flames. Bad discipline, horrible line-change, all preventable stuff. They could rebound from this, but the curse is still strong in the meantime.

[Beninho]

That 3rd pairing was horror awful tonight. It's no surprise that it was them on the line change. Bart deserves to sit

[TurdFerguson]

Can't give a game away like that. Aside from Getzlaf, who was a beast, the ducks turned in a pretty poor performance. To not get the win is a badly missed opportunity.
