On-topic but also off, and I may be the only one but I cannot stand the last GIF from the OP. I know it caused some controversy that was resolved with respect, and Zamler has editing skills that are out of this world, but I absolutely hate that GIF. From everyone bouncing to the Jared Leto Joker-Looking dude, I wish it would never be shared again.

I'm sure there was something better in the 80's. I vaguely remember 2 games with something like 10-0 and 12-2 scores?.Leafs and Nordiques? could be remembering wrong.
7-2 and 8-2 in 1990-91, 12-2 and 10-4 in 1989-90

The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
Didn’t Calgary just destroy tough Blues team 7-1? Interesting..
Quote:
Panthers too. Trying to look at any bright sides here, at least I have Markstrom in fantasy pool
Quote:
Only 5 minutes in and this game already seems to show a balance of power
We're scrambling any time the puck is near our sticks and they are working to move it toward a score. I'm already 1/4th a bottle down but I feel like I'll have an answer the closer to the bottom I get
Quote:
Jackets must have swung and missed at least 4 times in the last D zone struggle
Quote:
This team just isnt fun to watch
Quote:
I know we are outmatched but we don't even have the "loveable loser" feel to us so far tonight.
Quote:
The section I'm in has got to be the quietest and most boring here. Wow.
Quote:
The only noise I can hear is the two guys in front of me that sound like middle schoolers. Darn kids and their antics. Gonna get an ulcer from all this lollygagging.
Quote:
We just play boring hockey. We don't seem to have any confidence in our game.
Quote:
My GF has been trying to get into hockey and had a survey for 50% off tickets for the next three games. Told her "this was probably the only team we wouldn't be bent over and spanked so hard our teeth would be rattled out" but this is lava-hot liquid poo hockey.
Quote:
Jesus play some ####ing defense instead of watching the puck.
Quote:
This looks like circa 2005 Wings vs Jackets. Calgary has the crisp passing, anticipation, urgency and positioning. We have....none of that. We are lucky to get control, then either turn it over or barely dump it in for a line change. We just look really, really tired.
The Shinest UFA
Quote:
It seems pending UFA and future Blue Jacket* Johnny Gaudreau is a top 10 scorer in the league again. He's had a couple of 4 point nights lately, this might be another one.
*=in my dreams...
Quote:
I wonder if Gaudreau hits free agency this summer.
Quote:
I bet we could land him
Backlund’s Back, Alright!
Quote:
Brutal goal by Elvis. Brutal
And Laine needs to get that deep
Quote:
What was that?
Quote:
Give up early goal, rinse, lather, repeat ...
Quote:
Quite an uninspiring period. Came out flat, pretty much stayed that way.
Quote:
It's gonna be a loooong night
Quote:
Ya Elvis gotta stop that
“Same ####, Different Day”
Quote:
Shots are quietly 20-9, not in our favor
Quote:
I think the most shocking thing about this first period is that we almost have double digit shots
Quote:
It's only 1-0 but this feels like a rout so far
Quote:
Although the goal against was awful, Elvis has stood on his head since
Quote:
28 shots to 9. Elvis looking pretty good with all that action.
Quote:
Gavrikov pinches, absolutely nobody covers for him, breakaway ensues
Quote:
Shots are 30-9, no shots in the second, doubt this Roslovic empty net attempt will count as a shot
Quote:
Not a single ####ing shot
Quote:
This might be a hot take but I think having 0 shots in an entire period isn’t an ideal way to win
Quote:
There’s a shot !
Quote:
A SHOT ON NET.
#smallvictories
Quote:
Only took 10+ minutes! We were carefully curating that shot that looked rather mundane but was actually our secret weapon
Quote:
there’s a guy airing his grievances with this team in section 122 and i think he is speaking for all of us right now
Zebra Hunt
Quote:
Look, I'm not advocating violence, but if one of the lineman got a longest yard to his nards by a Laine clapper, I would testify that Laine did it in self defense.
Quote:
Hooking in offensive zone
Closing hand on the puck
cool
Quote:
Where do they get these refs jesus
Quote:
I have no words anymore. These refs are out of control, it’s been this way for the whole home stand.
Quote:
Jackets having to play against the refs tonight
Great job Elvis! And F U refs!
Quote:
Never ever cared for a ref crew that included St Pierre in it…
Quote:
Nice take down
Quote:
Unsurprising since the Flames playbook seems to consist primarily of “be a piece of ####”
Quote:
it would be nice if the refs wine and dined jackets before they ####ed them.
Road Warrior
Quote:
Damn.
Quote:
That’s way over his shoulder but whatever. We have no interest in winning this game anyway
Quote:
Tough one, as it occurred away from the net.
Ah damn, they counted it.
Quote:
Lol. That was at least a foot over the bar.
I think what happens here is that they don't have good cameras at exactly crossbar height, so unless something is several feet high they just say "we're not sure, call it a goal".
Quote:
The word of the night: anemic.
Quote:
Sounds like I’m not missing much. Had a feeling that it wasn’t going to be pretty. Flames have been rolling
Quote:
And we’ve been rolling over
Patience of a Tkachuk
Quote:
I know it’s supposed to look this way… but we look like a damn USHL squad tonight. Calgary is playing like a Tortorella wet dream.
Quote:
What the #### is this
Quote:
Just when you thought they'd bottomed out
Quote:
Nice goal call Rimer………is he even watching anymore?????
Quote:
Well they finally did it to me.
I expected the Flames to smoke the Jackets in this one, I get that they're losing, but the quit level on the team makes me want to quit watching them. I'm going to go clean my house and tune back in next game.
Lindy Piles on
Quote:
Great start to the third :eyeroll:
Quote:
When we’re bad, we’re really bad
Quote:
Wild shot from nowhere, miss the net, back in our zone. Sounds about right. Sheesh.
Quote:
Flames have crammed an entire game into 40 minutes, while Jackets have barely managed half a game.
Quote:
First time I've stopped watching a game before it was finished this season. I know people have a lot of reasons/theories as to why this team is struggling right now, but I still just don't understand what's happening. Even in previous seasons when we played poorly, we at least showed heart or tried to fight back. None of that in this game. None of that in most of our games. It is beyond frustrating to watch other teams walk all over us and then watch us just stand there and not respond. We may not make the playoffs this season, but I hope, if nothing else, that this season can serve as a lesson for our team. We currently have no identity, nor do we have any resilience. That needs to change very soon. We're playing the Rangers tomorrow. This team does not look ready. Get your #### together or gtfo.
The Monster Mash
Quote:
Gudbranson and Zadorov are two monsters on Calgary’s blue line
Quote:
We could have used Gudbranson this season. I wonder if anyone thought about that last offseason.
Quote:
Simply embarrassing
Quote:
Are you ####ting me.
Quote:
Elvis has given up 5 goals and still has a save percentage above .900. Yikes.
Quote:
This is what a rebuild looks like. It's ugly. Going to be a couple years before the Jackets are competitive again.
Quote:
Gus is -4, Zach too. Bjorkstrand at -3.
Quote:
FIGHT SOMEONE! THROW A BIG HIT! PRETEND TO GIVE A ####!
Tkachuk again just to be mean
Quote:
STOP! STOP! WE'RE ALREADY DEAD!! -sob-

It’s hockey. Sometimes you get speedbagged.
Quote:
Experience Blue Jackets hockey™
Quote:
Second question for Larsen, has this team given up on the season?
Quote:
Sacrificial lamb game. Make an example of someone.... anyone. Let everyone on the team know we don't stand for this.
Quote:
This game might have broke me. I have two games left for tickets this year. So I’m going to those, but if they get beat tomorrow in another quitting effort like tonight I have no desire to watch them anymore.
Quote:
Honestly, with this roster we shouldn’t be this ####ing bad/inconsistent. I know we are re”tooling” but…####…this is brutal.
Quote:
We're so bad that I've resorted to watching regular season NBA games
Help
Quote:
The defensive system of this team started to nosedive when PLD was traded off. He was the jackets shutdown center and they miss him dearly no matter how much of an ass he was.
Quote:
Probably doesn't help that we traded away Murray and Nuutivaara for peanuts to accomodate him in all fairness, and now Jones is gone too.
Quote:
What are the odds Elvis goes full Patrick Roy and pulls himself and tells Jarmo he's never playing for this team again?
Quote:
Would you blame him?
Franchise Record at Stake
Quote:
Do you think Bob is sad he left? 56 shots never a dull moment!
What’s the franchise record for shots against in 60 minutes?
Quote:
62 shots against?! hahahahahah. I hate this team.
Quote:
"Well, that was embarrassing." - my 7 year old
Quote:
Calgary about to get a league season high in shots on goal
Quote:
I thought the Florida game was rock bottom....62 shots against at home, and shutout again proves otherwise.
Quote:
Quote:
They have 71(!) shot attempts
New Coach Honeymoon
Quote:
Remember how the guys were so excited to play for Larsen and were tired of playing for Torts? It’s almost like when a kid realizes they actually need their stepdad who provided structure and support, and not their bio dad who tries to be their friend and let them stay up late and try a sip of beer lol
Quote:
Were being outcoached right now. They are constantly a step ahead of us. Also the refs are biased trash.
Quote:
We looked like a rebuilt team at the beginning of the season, but it looks like a lot of the new stuff Larsen tried is gone and we've regressed to the mean from last year
Quote:
I think so. Lars gets the benefit of the doubt and I understand the circumstances we're in but, Laine is an elite hockey player. Bjork is capable of greatness. Domi and even Boone have had 30+ goal seasons. Our D corps is better than this. Gotta look at the common denominator.
Quote:
Larsen cannot motivate this team. Period. He's shown what he is, and that's a bad HC. Find someone else after this year.
Quote:
50 shots allowed
Fire Larsen tonight.
Quote:
This team is not prepared to play. Fire Larsen.
Quote:
The team has quit on the coaching staff. You can't say a team is trying when they've given up over 50 shots on net and are repeatedly giving up 35 to 40 a game. This is embarrassing.
Quote:
Defense has been hanging our goalies out to dry all year so nothing new
Quote:
7 unanswered
WE WANT 10
62 shots against
all happened this month
No Goodniks
Quote:
Gonna be a ####ty OOT tonight. I can feel it.
Quote:
Around 35games still left to play against WC teams for the Flames. Not all of them will be STL on a Canadian road trip..
Quote:
I guess another team isn’t taking Calgary seriously.
Quote:
Columbus sucks, so there is that. Who the f*** lets that many shots on net and shows up?
Quote:
Calgary has so many shots that even with 6 goals, Merzlikins still has over a 0.900 save percentage lol
Quote:
In the 2 games since losing to us Calgary has 110 shots, 13 goals for, 1 goal against. Why can’t we ever get pissed like that
Quote:
Calgary is a better team and they play with much more will.
Quote:
The biggest differences are the coach and the goalie. D Corp is mediocre and forward Corp is nothing to write home about. Treliving is getting carried by Sutter’s systems and Markstrom
Quote:
Whatever the case is, they dictate the pace of games much more than the Oilers do and are much harder to play against. Could be coaching, could be personnel. They just seem better built for the playoffs IMO.
Quote:
ee, good thing Markstrom brought his superstar game tonight and against the Blues since the rest of the team just mailed it in.
Quote:
I think they have a +32 goal differential now. Oilers at a -3
Quote:
Markstrom feeling adventurous tonight
Quote:
Ben Scrivens would have gotten a shutout
Quote:
Congratulations to the Calgary Flames. This is the most lopsided game I have ever seen.
Quote:
Isn't Merzlikins supposed to be good?
Quote:
Yap. Poor guy kept them in it, give him a break.

another interesting stat from the Flames all time leader board
now plus minus is of course fluid and you can gain and lose ground, but after the last few nights both Lindholm and Tkachuk find themselves in the top 20 for the Calgary Flames all time (Johnny just outside at 22). of the rest of the top 20, only Giordano was born in the last 50 years. (12 of the top 20 were on the cup team)

Had to lol at this. That poor girl is never going to watch hockey again. OR hopefully just becomes a Flames fan
