Who puts a goalie who hasn't played a real game in like 6 months into the middle of a tied do or die playoff game!?

Takes a special kind of idiot. Unbelievable.

Someone wanna tell me why the #### I keep coming back for more of this #### every goddamn year?

...because you're my friend and won't let me go it alone?

Some Geoff Ward “highlights” from this series

- Took until game 6 to change the structure to slow down the Stars forecheck and stretch pass breakout

- Kept the same forwards on the ice for the last 3 minutes of game 4, Stars tie it with 12 seconds left and win in OT

-Pulls the playoffs MVP after a lucky goal that hit a stick and two legs to put in a goalie that hadn’t played a meaningful game since March 8th

- Dressed Zac Rinaldo for 3 games even though the team was outplayed drastically ever game he played in the playoffs, and removing him from the lineup is what turned the tide against the Jets

Honestly he’s not the reason they lose this series but he cost them tonight’s game. And it kills me because I think those guys on the ice actually gave it their all tonight up until the coach made one of the worst coaching decisions I’ve ever seen.

Go get a real coach.

Can't win with Johnny (hopefully a few of the GM's don't know that)

[Flame On]

That series with Winnipeg and the first period ugh!

[JBR]

The time has come for this fan. 40 years of hardcore loyalty. Thousands of dollars annually on season tickets, trips to other arenas, merchandise etc. It’s time for a pause.

Not renewing my tickets. Donating 13 jerseys. Giving away the rest of my stuff. I didn’t think they could find another way to break a fans heart, but they have.

Follow on TV? I’m sure I will. But until something significant happens, I’m out.

[Jacks]

The series was over in game 4 when they blew the lead with seconds left.
We all knew it but didn't want to believe it.

I'm not looking forward to the rah rah sisk boom bah stuff theure gonna trot out to the media. They had this swries by the balls and squandered it. Such a massive let down yet again. But it doesn't hurt as bad this time around. Because it was predictable to me.

Talbot was a beast and didn't deserve the way this game ended.

End of the day, time to initiate the clean slate protocol for goalies. If you can. Team needs a real thump in the chest shake up.

I am however super miffed that this all ended up exactly how I didnt want it to. A useless series win against wpg and 4 or more lost spots in the draft.

I wonder what HQ chances the goalies saved? Since a few went through that were not even close to scoring chances. Is there a stat for extremely low scoring chances? Like clear-ins or accident on-net icings?

Heh. We still for for it.
We shouldn't

[TFF]

The distraction from COVID was really nice. I can’t believe this happened again. Now on to the debate of rebuild through trade or draft.

To make it worse I live in Texas. Tomorrow will suck.

[Beninho]

How long do we keep investing the future into a core that only gets eliminated in the most pathetic embarrassing fashion? It’s time to start building for the future cuz the future with this core isn’t going anywhere. Start the rebuild now

Leave Gio unprotected at the expansion draft.
Trade Johnny.
Resign Talbot, let Rittich go.
Keep Bennett forever.

that isn't for another year

[Geeoff]

Hard to blame the goalie change. The Flames never scored again and the 4th Gurianov goal on Talbot was not great

Can't wait to see what PepsiFree thinks of my roster remake ideas this year.

[Johnny Makarov]

Bieksa thinks the reason why we changed goalies was because we already used our timeout....

CTE is real folks! Can't believe he has a job with his Clueless accent and his Hunger Games beard.

[Pizza]

LOL

they had me for the first 10 minutes

Flames just keep being the Flames

[Jagermeister]

I wonder how close Chucky was to coming back. He looked pretty choked, I wonder if he might have been good to go for a game 7.
