How do the Ducks continue to get all the luck against us? It's amazing. 2 games in a row we get screwed on goal reviews and then score an own goal to lose the game.

Its not even like they collapsed though. They arguably outplayed the ducks most of the game. You knew that the ducks were going to charge back. Its the mudder fuggin playoffs. The Flames have played well enough to be up 3 - 0. Yet they're down 3 - 0.

We just can't seem to catch a break.

Darryl Played Bishop quite a bit after the trade. It's a sign. Sutter is coming home and Bishop is coming with him.

So, if anyone's curious, the historical odds of coming back from a 3-0 deficit are apparently just over 2%.

With the amount of bad luck the Flames have had so far in this series, you have to like those odds.

So stupid.

They were the ONLY team I prayed the Flames wouldn't get for the exact reason we are seeing. They have the Flames #. Plain and simple.

Eff the Honda center, eff the Ducks and eff the people who yearned for this series.
http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...ighlight=round

Almost half wanted the Ducks. Unreal. A team that's beats our ass almost every single time we play, and half the site thought we had a chance against them .

This is the result people. There will be no end to this damn curse. The tides not suddenly going to shift. Boy it would sure look good playing the Hawks right now.

Literally the worst match up in the entire league for any team vs any team, is Flames vs Ducks, and for 14 years straight now

I'm frankly kind of surprised at the lack of Oiler trolls in this thread.

It was also goaltending in the last game. Two soft goals to begin the game.

Elliotts finish to this game:

Goal against, 4 saves, Goal against, 4 saves, goal against, 2 saves, goal against.

4 goals against on the last 14 shots.

Elliott didn't even need be good in this game, just average. The tying goal was really soft and the last goal was just ridiculous.

When you've been a Flames fan since they moved to Calgary, you've experienced a ton of disappointments and lows. But man, it doesn't get any easier.

The contenders in our division all have a starting goalie. Flames need one. Not just a goalie who can play like a starter.

Don't need to see Elliott in a Flames jersey again. Start Gillies, backup with Johnson. The guy flat out murdered their playoffs.

Might as well come back from 3-0 down. Embarrass the Ducks in our own way.
One game at a time. No pressure, just go out and play.

The prevent defense certainly didn't help things.

People can try and defect the blame to whoever they want, but this team IMO only has to blame theirselves. They should be up 2-1 in the series, but are down solely because of their own stupidity. Prolonging the most embarrassing streak in pro sports and then blowing a 4-1 lead at home ... awful. The thing that really hurts is that the Ducks aren't better, they simply don't shoot themselves in the foot like the Flames do.

Only thing that would make me feel better us a live video of Elliott's agent watching this series.

Backup money loser backup money.

Epic fail Tonight. Hope the ducks just sweep so they are rested to whoop the oilers

This game turned on the softie to end the second. It said that a perfectly-played first 35 minutes and total control of the game COULD still slip away. It can't happen, except to a young team and when you get October Elliott goaltending. I'd like to see us ride one of the kids next season. At least then you can chalk an off night, or bad goal, up to inexperience. To have veteran goaltending and bs results is horrific.
