The salt seems to be thick from other teams fans about an entertainment product doing things that entertain their customers.

Jeezuz what people get up in arms about is limitless.

Who is up in arms? just saying its stupid...and the Flames would be getting roasted if they sucked and did that after the odd time they won a game.

They are up in arms for Lindholm mocking their sacred dance that started a couple months ago...even though they booed him throughout the game

Perfect place for Hamilton...where players like to win but don't hate to lose and the results don't really matter all that much.

No you're absolutely right. I was just kind of laughing about that gif right above my post. He basically whiffs on the play, falls, takes out Lindholm and Rittich and does two complete 360s on his back.

Flames have a backup goaltender with a 14-10-1 record. That's a 0.580 points% or a 95 point season pace.
This is acceptable.

Why do these twitter statuses always come up as page does not exist?

I love Elias Lindholm, do a tacky celebration get prepared to be made fun of.

Thank you Carolina

Actually blind squirrels are every bit as good at finding nuts as their counterparts with full vision. Squirrels find food due to their uncanny ability to smell nuts and their superhuman ability to remember their hiding places when they bury them.

Their eyes are mostly used for detecting potential predators but almost never for finding food.

So yeah, blind squirrels are doing just fine finding nuts.

I have no complaints about Prout and I usually think stay at home Dmen are a waste of time. He's clearly good at what he's good at and he defers to his partner on the rest.

Can you imagine if the Flames were in 9th place pulling stuff like that? they would be getting crucified

I guess they have to do something to keep fans entertain-ish or engage-ish?

Who cares?

How is it embarrassing to play a game in the name of celebration with your fans....after playing a game?

[Kswiss]

Didnt even notice the fans boo Linholm. Good for him with that mocking celebratio. Haha

This is acceptable.

That's because Flames would have a winning record with any goalie in the league.
The Flames score over 3.7 goals per game.

Cam Ward is the only goalie in the league who has a GAA over 3.50.

By your logic, you can argue that virtually every goalie would be acceptable as a Flames backup.
That may be true, but why not have higher standards?

Worst in NHL 20+ games...quit giving Smith credit for the Flames being a great team

Worst is not acceptable to most reasonable people

I don't hate the celebrations. I think you have to expect something like this as a result though.

Also Twitter is the realm of stupid posters. The majority of Canes fans on Reddit don't seem to mind what Lindholm did.

[Moneyhands23]

Did anyone notice how dougie gave a ho-hum interview about it being like every other game. Weird as he was overly physical and talking a lot more after the whistle than usual.
There is definitely some salty feelings

If I am using CP Style 2a it happens to me too. Going back to CP Style 2 fixes it, but then you have to deal with the pop ups.

Hamilton also hit Lindy after the horn...contributing factor
