Go Flames Go!!!!

So hard to have perspective when you see they could've won this game.

This group is very young. Perry and Getzlaf have been doing this for 10+ years, Gaudreau and Monahan for 1.

It gives no relief to think that way, but it will. The flames were the Ducks equal tonight, maybe even the better team. They still lost and it still stings. Over the next few years, this sting will fade and hopefully be replaced with a few more bitter losses, but more triumphant wins too.

And hey, the Flames have been doing this all year. Maybe Sunday will be an awesome surprise

Those were more than enough to put the Flames away.

I didn't even think Beauchemin got hit by a stick but I must have missed it. Beauchemin drew blood that's why it was an automatic 4-minutes penalty. Can't fault the referee on that call. It was a stupid penalty and unfortunately he drew blood as well.

Just win one and bring it back home to push it to 7...

But you actually come of as expect the worse , surprised by the best.

I hate Corey Perry. I can respect Getzlaf to a certain extent but Corey Perry pisses me off more than any other player in the league. I think the Flames can take advantage of his lack of discipline. If the Flames win Game 5, then anything can happen. Just take it one game at a time and don't linger on mistakes or bad reffing

Johnny Gaudreau and Joe Colborne on a tough night faced the media with a lot of class. Accepted the blame handled it well. #Flames

enough of this small crap. Geez!! Ducks got lucky to win tonight. They made a couple of mistakes that cost them a couple of goals.

They were sating on Sports net that he didnt draw blood but that the ref thought it was that reckless. The rule for 4 mins is up to refs decresion.

Being in the 2nd round of the playoffs when we finished the season before in the bottom 5, with a first line composing of a sophomore and rookie while our MVP/Norris caliber defenseman is out ≠in any way shape or form a likely scenario.


Any reasonable realistic person should know this.

Lets just start with game 5. The rest will be driven by momentum.

Still pales in comparison to coming back from a 3-1 hole against the top team in the conference. Besides, the law of averages is bound to kick in at some point.
