Team will still be in big trouble if both of the forwards are playing at half the value of their contracts.

Really? I actually thought it was a really fun game to watch.

There's been plenty. And frequently. Not really easy to dig that stuff up though as it's spread across maybe 10 threads

The stars never got a shot on goal on the 4 on 1

Wow.

I don’t post or lurk a ton anymore but I don’t recall any “flames have two Vs WPG” posts lately.

Are you thinking about the two against Minnesota from a month or so ago when it looked like we’d be chasing them? That was a thing for sure.

I think you are getting confused.

6-3-1 in their last 10.

I hope Calgary free falls.


Now Seattle has only gotten 3 points in their last 5 games, after a 5 game winning streak. But that’s a small sample size slump.

Mangiapane on FlamesTV for the pregame interview earlier today:

“Biggest thing is to come out strong”

Lol

This guy should be healthy scratched next game. Total. Garbage. All. Year. Pull your head out of your ass Mangiapane.

No, he's right, it's come up, a fair but.

This freakin team. Lose in reg, and we can at least call it over. Win and we have some hope.

Another OTL. Stuck in no mans land.

I don't recall what post it was, but it was just one guy confused at what head to head was, vs home and home.

I'd like to hear Brad and Darryl own up to that blunder.

That was pure stupidity after holding on to Valimaki over potentially acquiring Mark Stone and patiently letting him cook through his injuries only to bail on him in favour of a recent college system free agent that couldn't crack the team and had a much lower ceiling.

All the work and patience to scout and develop him and Arizona benefits.

This #### can't happen again.

Played two top teams and got 3 points out of 4 with Huber and Kadri MIA. What else can you ask for ?

And probably confusing "4 point game" with "4 points up for grabs".

[FlamesAddiction]

Huberdeau was frustrating to watch again tonight, just throwing the puck away instead of trying to think through some plays. Twelve goals in the past 2 games, and he has 1 assist.

Stone wouldn't have signed here anyway I wouldn't get too worried about that potential trade

[3rd liner]

I feel like the wave screams of the people who are there only for a night out to drink, barely know the players and are more interested in intermission funny videos and getting pocket dogs and ice cream before going somewhere after . That’s fine, but F off with the wave. please.

Maximum brain damage for fans

Still would be nice to understand why they gave up on a dman who had just turned 24 two days earlier. They decided to stick with the 26 year old free agent signing and the 32 year old dman instead.

I have no more expectations with Huby for this year. He is a role player at best right now on this team. From my recollection he has had one game this season where he made a difference, against the Rangers. As it appears, he is going to be 6th in scoring this year, with Dube almost catching him(which would make him 7th, at that juncture).

All the Flames can do is to hope he is better next year, at this juncture.

[bigpete]

Their overtime record is now an abysmal 6 - 15. Really shows that their lack of a game breaker forward is making a huge difference.

Toffoli has been pretty clutch but there is nobody else. Huberdeau and Kadri have been so underwhelming it is hard to fathom.
