This result makes me super happy! I still feel depressed about the big picture, but the big picture would look a lot better to me if the Flames could put together a run of consistent play at a high level. It doesn't have to be the level from this game, but I would love to see an extended run like this game/like the games at the beginning of the year.
It's been 16 days since we got to enjoy a Sabres win. Let's get one today please, I'm hungry.

Hockey is back mf’ers Sabres by a billion

They win with speed and precision. Can't be any rust, can't take time to get a feel, they aught to come out flying. Calgarys been on a road trip and lost 2 in a row while sitting on the bubble.
It feels ####ing great to hyped about every single game. Every point matters, 32 games left. 500 hockey would give us 32 points, putting us at 88 on the season which isn't enough. Excited to see how don manages the push.

Pre Game Hubris
Quote:
It is my belief that this single game will be a microcosom of the rest of the Season.
Let us have a good look, and be play-off bound.
I believe, do you?
Quote:
I'm in with that. In the past, they've always been bad coming of a break. Didn't happen last December so I have hopes they'll extinguish the Flames today in a big way.
Quote:
Losing is no longer an option I consider for this team.
The beatings will continue until morale improves
Quote:
Tuch just took a headshot. What the ####?
Quote:
Embellishment my ass, I can see roughing from before Krebs took the cross
Quote:
Two missed calls on Calgary , what a bunch of dirty ####s
Quote:
That is the most made up penalty I have ever seen
Quote:
The key to counteracting the sabres speed: clutch and grab baby, clutch and grab.
-Suter probably.
Quote:
Krebs 2 for getting cross checked?
Quote:
Calling that, but not the clear penalty when they grabbed the stick of of Lyubushkin's hands, hmmmm.....
Quote:
He got crosschecked in the back when the puck was leaving the corner.
How can he embellish?
Quote:
That wasn't embellished. ####ing dumb
Quote:
What a ####ing penalty lmao bro why
Quote:
Gonna call embellishment on Jost there too?
Quote:
Embellishment is a penalty strictly to let refs influence games more than they already do. Who the #### has the ability to say definitively that Krebs dove there? And not that he wasnt simply exhausted from a physical shift and took a shove to the back and fell?
Quote:
Sensing a pattern of Flames players X-checking more than normal teams, nice to finally get a call our way on that

Looch Complaint Review Board
Quote:
Am I still terrible for wanting Lucic to get his ass handed to him?
Quote:
No. I was just thinking if someone like Cozens took a fairish run on him and after the game said 'screw that plug, that was for Miller' how much of a legend they would be.
Might come with a bit of a beating later but that wouldn't be remembered.
Quote:
I don’t even have problems that the dude plays for, and I never root for injury or pain towards anyone, I just believe that karma is real and it’s a bitch. All my thoughts on this. Oftentimes when karma comes around all I can do is shrug cause I warned y’all karma a bitch but ppl don’t wanna just act with a lil grace. Whatever.
Quote:
*Pawn Stars voice* Best I can do is an injury
Poopy Shot Differential
Quote:
We got outshot 11-3? Wut????
Quote:
What the hell did they do during intermission, because it sure wasn’t discussing how to keep a firm grip on this game. I don’t care if they win 16-3 from here on out, my blood is boiling right now.
Quote:
I just want to see a shot. I’ve forgotten what one looks like
Quote:
Oh, my friend, you've not heard of Sabres hockey when leading going into the third
Pelletier’s 1st!
Quote:
Rats. I had been checking rosters to see who had zero career goals so I knew who was going to score. I forgot today.
Quote:
3 odd man rushes allowed in the first 3 minutes
Quote:
Boosh booshed too hard
Quote:
Oh for God’s sake.
Quote:
The shots didn't did not feel that lopsided. Seemed like the Sabres had a good amount of pressure that period.
Quote:
Sabres blow a ton of leads unfortunately. I’d keep watching if I were you.
Backlund’s Back
Quote:
What happened to our defense? I get the Pelletier goal but you’ve gotta stop Backlund there.
Quote:
That was ####in soft
Quote:
Holy #### wake up you ####s
Quote:
Wake up
Quote:
Came out sleepwalking this period
Quote:
Sabres losing a 2 goal lead once again
Quote:
ayo what the ####. sigh
Quote:
I should be happy that we're tied when getting outshot 6-1, but the distant memory of 2 minutes ago when we were leading while getting outshot 5-1 still sting.
Dilberrrrrrrrrrt
Quote:
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALL THE FIRST GOALS
Quote:
How do I disappoint thee? Let me count the ways.
Quote:
Type of game where you pull your goalie just to send a message to your skaters. I don’t recall Granato ever doing that before though.
Quote:
How the sabres have a 3 on 1 and skinner is washed out on the boards but the flames have a 1 on 3 that turns into about 4 scoring chances
Quote:
I’m done. Not wasting a sunny day watching a meltdown.
Quote:
Shell shocked
Quote:
I hate this ####ing sport
Quote:
Flames have 30 shots on goal already. Sabres have 4.
Quote:
We don't play defense here
Quote:
Classic sabres defensive strategy
Quote:
Someone tell the Sabres that the 2nd period already started, what the ####
Quote:
Sabres and not doing defence, a duo more fates than Romeo and Juliet
Kadri with the big tipper
Quote:
what the fuk is going on
Quote:
Holy ####, ugly
Quote:
Sabres are allergic to 2 goal leads lol
Quote:
PATHETIC.
Quote:
Another embarrassing defeat at home.
Quote:
I was afraid of this. The team had a long layoff, playing a team that didn't have a long layoff. Clearly the Sabres are rusty. It might take a few games to get back into the swing of things.
Quote:
Can't play just 20 minutes of a 60 minute game
Quote:
Damn I guess they felt they owed us for putting 6 up on them, back to the power play
Quote:
I start watching and literally Calgary scores three in the 2 minutes I watch, I’m gonna watch something else
Quote:
Thank #### Kadri isn’t in our division anymore
Quote:
You have one of the youngest teams in the league, maybe call a time out after they score three against you within five minutes.
I don't care what the analytics say about time out usage. You need to do something to reset the tempo.
Quote:
TAKE A TOMEOUT ####
Quote:
Oof, probably lost the game in a 7 minute span
Quote:
8 shots in 2 periods. Is that good?
Quote:
its still only a 2 goal deficit.
lets go sabres!!
Quote:
This might be our worst period of the season.
Quote:
WE GOT A SHOT ON GOAL HOLY ####ING ####
Quote:
Well on the bright side you cant collapse in the 3rd if you’ve already collapsed in the 2nd. Lets rebound and win this
Tyler Foli collapses the Sabres in the 3rd
Quote:
We’re a ####ing joke.
Quote:
When I said I wanted 6 goals I should’ve clarified for the Sabres and not against them
Quote:
Brother. What the frick is going on
Quote:
The boys are probably sweating booze out there.
Quote:
These guys know they have to shoot right?
Quote:
Absolute collapse.
Quote:
i took a shower in intermission and just got back. The ####, boys?
Quote:
#### me, that shouldn't have gone in
Quote:
Well that’s one way to throw the towel in
Quote:
woof toffoli didnt even celebrate
Quote:
That 5 hole goal is why he will never be a number 1 goalie. Christ.
Quote:
I’m just straight up not having a good time watching this game.
Quote:
Absolute collapse against the Calgary Flames.
Embarrassing
Quote:
I turned on the game during the intermission…
I’ll see myself out
Quote:
complete implosion
next game please
Quote:
No excuse for this kind of a loss. Its very troubling.
They needed to enjoy their break but then reset when they got back into town. I don’t know how Granato didn’t get them ready. The players understand the playoff race so I don’t get the lack of effort.
Dube for Good Measure
Quote:
Glad I stopped watching after the fourth goal. ####ing embarrassing. I’m not expecting playoffs or anything but it’s like we turned back the clock to 2015. Really, 7 unanswered?
Quote:
Holy #### I tuned out after the first, got distracted, I come back and it's ####ing 7-2 what HAPPENED
Quote:
Before lecturing fans on showing up to home games maybe they should put up a better effort in them.
Quote:
They get way too cocky when they lead. And then this #### happens.
Quote:
I've been looking forward to this all week. What a dickpunch this has been
Quote:
Flames are really building something.
When Mangiapane finds his goal scoring touch again this is a top 3 team in the Pacific
Quote:
Playing soft as #### all game making the same blind passes that have killed us all year. This team is so frustrating to watch
Quote:
I think I need to take a break, this is too stressful right now
Quote:
7 to 2 and they still want more.
Quote:
First game back after the break is a dud.
Go sweep LA, Anaheim, and SJ and we'll be fine
Quote:
It feels like paranoia, that despite the clear and present evidence that things have turned the corner, everything will fall apart with no perceptible reason. Decade of darkness has lingering effects, I'm afraid.
Loser Franchise
Quote:
Marky's looking in playoff form eh?
Quote:
Never too early to drink. How do you think us Edmonton fans made it through the decade of darkness?
Quote:
I have second hand embarrassment for the Sabres
Quote:
With all the sucking Calgary does, you'd think they'd be use to bowing down by now
Quote:
Calgary will probably make the trade that Edmonton wants yet.
Not sure if Seattle has a trade left or not in them.
Quote:
What a pathetic f***ing game from the Sabres on home ice. They go up 2-0 not deserving to and then lay a complete egg the rest of the way giving up 7 straight goals. To the Flames that haven't scored that many all season.
I hope the Sabres clowns were boo'ed off the ice. f***, I wanted to cheer for that club today.
Quote:
12 years without playoffs going on 13. Makes the DoD look like a joke. Perpetual loser franchise. To be expected
Quote:
Even fluked out and struck gold with Thompson and still can't get it together. Crazy how that franchise just insists on sucking.

Much more fun to watch this team when they're scoring and winning. Hopefully this is a huge turning point.

HAHA!!! How ungrateful. Buffalo broke the Oilers' no playoff record, and the Oilers would still be riding that streak approaching 20 years, if Buffalo got McDiver like they should've.
