Neither team has really had many opportunities or offensive pressure but it's been physical and while Lucic is largely useless, he's been good tonight. 2-0 is not an insurmountable deficit for these Flames.

I think the problem is we're watching the Flames lose a game. The Oilers have generated nothing that hasn't come from a Flames screw up - and there have been several screw ups they haven't capitalized on. Meanwhile the Flames are flubbing routine stuff.

It's frustrating, because it's looking like a loss and there's just no reason for it other than what's going on in the Flames' heads.

That said, some of the bridge-jumping in here is over the top.

This is probably the worst the team as a unit has played since Pittsburgh. Peters is gonna need to work some magic here.

He prob belongs out east. Maybe it would wake his buddy Sean up as well.

Cheering for the Flames or the Cowboys. Ugh

Consider yourself lucky. Dolphin fan here. Between the flames and dolphins it has been decades of frigin hell.

So many TERRIBLE passes for icings.
So many TERRIBLE whiffs/muffins/fanned shots

And the Domes ice is also TERRIBLE.

There should be a green thanks option.

If I had a dime for every time the Flames shoot it wide, I could fund the god damn 2026 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

He has a history of disappearing in the physical games... If he pushes back in a game like this he probably gets jumped, he's got no protection. Even if this team made the playoffs they would get bullied when the hockey gets tougher.

Flames are a much better team than what they've show tonight, and they're essentially beating themselves right now. So damn frustrating.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Calgary is slowly playing their game now

[bubbsy]

Finally a penalty after how many Klefbom crosschecks

[Inferno]

Another powerkill coming up.

[skcli]

This is the 5th power play ? Are they going to score?
