It's just one game man. Settle down a bit, there is a lot of season left.

This game against Buffalo is one you look at near the end of the season and think you really should have gotten 2 points. Unacceptable.

Sometimes you have to lose to the worst team in the league. It is what is done sometimes. Guess I’ll cancel my “pacific division champions” banner order now.

Brouwer with over 18 and a half minutes of ice time tonight. Enough said.

Cheering for the Flames is an exercise in bitter disappointment.

Johnson deserves a lot of credit.

Smith was solid as usual.
Fourth line for the Flames brought energy for a change.
Johnny and Tkachuck had good games.

Flames better get their poop in a group by Wednesday, or the Kings and McLotteryball are gonna eat us alive. Pretty uninspiring effort tonight.

Thank god we at least got a point out of that debacle.

Spoiler!

Its because this team looks like a totally different team post break. Can't score, taking dumb penalties, handling the puck like a grenade. The team can't afford to lose games like this when the playoff race is extremely tight this season.

Did we watch the same game? Smith was the only reason we were in that game before Hedman went out.

People need to stop blaming this on the break and start admitting this team has been a steaming pile of dog #### on home ice all season. As a season ticket holder, despite holding a playoff spot I have a hard time forcing myself to go to the games this year. Just friggin brutal. I don’t even know how to start to process it. It’s 100% mental at this point. Bring in the sports psychologist I guess.

I get keeping Brouwer out there for the fist zone face off. I don't get keeping him out there when there was what, 10 seconds of PP time left? Monahan is better in the draws and can handle 10 seconds of PP time and then you have a better option for when BAcklund comes out of the box for 4 on 4.

odd coaching decision.

Take the point, hope Van beats LA tomorrow and big back to back come Wednesday/Thursday.

You have how many centers in your lineup who can penalty-kill and you send Brouwer out? Why not Mony, Janko, or Stajan? I'd really like to know what the hell their reasoning was behind this move.
Brouwer has an A, that tells you enough about the decision makers, just saying.

I thought both teams played hard. I don't think CGY played bad but BUF wanted to win for Johnson and make amends for a blowout.

Can't take penalties late in a game, especially in OT. I think Hathaway needs to step up his offensive game or you put someone more dynamic there

That zap to the game that Treliving thought was missing when he wanted a shake up has reappeared. 2 goals in 2 games is not a winning recipe.

Team needs someone to spark some offense.

Unacceptable
Brodie brutal
Monahan played like ass
Ferland was a passenger
Backlund......either extend him or trade him. He's looking distracted.

Can't really blame Brouwer when your best players didn't show up can you ?

Top line garbage
2nd line garbage

Defensive turnovers everywhere.
