[PGT] Flames 2 @ Canucks 3 (OT)

[3rd liner]

I will always HATE the canucks, but for some reason this year's edition of the Canucks isn't as offensive as usual. Just bieksa and burrows that I cannot stand. Mind you sestito and kassian weren't in the lineup tonight.

Hiller allowed one goal in regulation...anyone blaming him can stop

VANCOUVER CANUCKS YO!

Flames would have celebrated the exact same way

The effort is always there but the mental mistakes continue.

Raymond is not a first or second line player. I also think Flames overpaid him.

If it was possible to give out several thanks I would . Glencross is a joke. He would not be wearing an A on any other NHL team.
It is purely because that loafer has been on the Flames for Years
Nothing given always earned, well unless its an A on the sweater.

There's your problem.

Not really. We've actually won a Stanley Cup. We know what it feels like already.

Amazing what Ryan Kesler's image can do to a team.

But god damn... this is quite the streak.

But what will really blow your mind is...pretty much the exact same thing we are going through now happened back in 2010. If the Flames lose against the Kings next game, they will have lost 9 straight going into the game against Edmonton. Back in 2010, the Flames also lost 9 straight going into a game against Edmonton and we defeated them 6-1 and as an added bonus that was the Oiler's 13th consecutive loss. We could break out of our losing streak against them and extend their losing streak to 9 this time 'round if we're lucky! PS Edmonton is no good. And too bad we didn't make the playoffs in 2010

[locsofblu]

Can this team hit 9?

I was banned from the Vancouver board for a whole year in 2008 after bad-mouthing the #### out of their team all season. Once I got unbanned I went back in there and started trolling them like crazy. I don't even know how many infractions I've had there over the years lol

This is exactly the point!

Yeah, it sucks to have an 8 game losing streak, and it sucks more given the fast start to the season, but this is still really only year two of the rebuild. And over these last 8 games, they've only been a couple of finishes away most games.

Tonight, they scored a goal on themselves, then allowed a second. They could have folded like a cheap tent, but, instead, they fought back to tie the game. This is a cultural piece that is integral, and is not going anywhere so long as Hartley has a say.

It is clear that this team isn't quite good enough, but management can find the players they need, given time. It's not like the Oilers where not only do they have to trade-out players, they have an entire identity to forge first.

The Flames have done the hard part--getting guys to commit to a team-first approach. Now we have to improve specific aspects of the team. This rebuild is still on the right track!

[dino7c]

I'm gonna stop making fun of Edmonton for being no good...Flames are just as no good right now.

Don't think the Oilers have scored on themselves lately

Glencross would be a better Captain than Ference up north. He belongs there

[JetsFlamesFan]

Is that Ryan Miller and Snooki?
