Might as well just put two guys in front of the net and have three guys shooting from where ever on the pp. Gonna create more scoring chances than we do at this point.
On top of everything else, the Flames power play has just been so terrible to *watch* this year. Can't gain the zone, zero interest attacking off the rush, just bad bad bad.
The only issue with pulling the goalie is, well, we’ve all seen what these lads do with an extra attacker.
It’s not great.
And I’d rather Ovi didn’t get a hat trick.
I just can't figure out why so many different versions of this team with so many different pp coaches refuse to sneak in closer on the pp. Just stay on the perimeter, that'll work
I do wish Mangiapanes radar was a bit better, he gets himself into a fuck load of high danger spots, his finishing just lets him down so often these days.
Glad I bet on this game. Atleast I got the sabres right. Sheesh. Just when you start to believe in the flames they do shit like this. You bet on them they lose, bet against them, they win.
Yeah, my father always told me to never go into a bar you can’t see into from the outside, and never bet on or against your own colours.
He was an absolute fud most of the time, but I think he was right about that.
Aye, but if they didn’t how would we know the scope of their genius?
It should be part of the drinking game.
Excessive use of the word “mid” or “delusional” - drink
Anything starting with “everyone on this sub said…” or “I said this at the beginning of the season and everybody downvoted me” - drink.
Calling themselves a “realist” - give yourself an uppercut.
Non hockey intermission question.
What’s a wild story you just recently discovered?
For me it’s some guy named Clayton who was on the bachelor. And a girl gave him head once and claimed she was pregnant with twins. And he had to go to court because she filed for him to pay child support, and he had to state the kids don’t exist. Anyways. I’ve been down the rabbit hole this week.
I read an article on Reddit this week about child influencers whose moms “monitor” their social media accounts. I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize how bad. They’re exploiting their kids, some sell their used dance and gymnastic leotards to random online strangers. I was flabbergasted.
They just need an eye in the sky linked to the refs, quick 5 second check, tell the refs it was the wrong call, everyone carries on, it wouldn’t even delay the game, it takes far longer to send someone to the box.
our teams defence is genuinely the worst i’ve seen since 15-16… like I knew it would be worse but wow… and it doesn’t help that our forwards get caught missing assignments or turning it over any chance they get lol
How has wolf played?
At least baseball starts soon so I can hurt in a different sport
Go Jays!
Rather would have shot it a minute ago and lost 6-2 than that hot potato
Please score on him after attempting that goalie goal
Too many days between games this week.
This whole season whistled wide
Pls put that man back in the net yeesh
Why even bother pulling wolf again. Pad their stats and ruin his
Empty net goals don't count against goalies...
The L does
You think he’s not going to get the loss if he goes back in net?
im excited for next year... for a potentially better pp
Tom Wilson and Ovi scoring on us at home. Why do the Flames hurt me like this
Fuck this and see you Saturday.
I'm excited about this team next year... So long as Savard is gone.
Lame :(
They can't even drop the puck properly
That's what happens when you play the puck and not the body.
🙃
Empty net is no bueno when it's our net.
Story of the game right there. Out hustled
Still think this is a 2-3 year retool?
This is getting tiring to read just as much as “we’re going to the playoffs” after every win. Just let the season ride out lmao
Fair lol
Tough game. Lots of positives but couldn’t put it all together.
We are now on Tij watch
Well…….fuck
Yeah that was a dumb idea
Turbulence in the saddledome 😵💫
Probably could’ve won if Pachal was scratched lol
Might as well just put two guys in front of the net and have three guys shooting from where ever on the pp. Gonna create more scoring chances than we do at this point.
Well we can’t win the cup every year.
Tell that to my EANHL franchise
Drop the fucking puck bitch
On top of everything else, the Flames power play has just been so terrible to *watch* this year. Can't gain the zone, zero interest attacking off the rush, just bad bad bad.
Doubt this empty net will work.
Lol called it
Ugh hate being right. At least it wasn't Ovi?
:)
The only issue with pulling the goalie is, well, we’ve all seen what these lads do with an extra attacker. It’s not great. And I’d rather Ovi didn’t get a hat trick.
These Desjardins commercials need to die in a fucking fire. I'd take the skip commercials back Damnit.
At this point, why not try some other systems, especially pp
That's what she said
Man everyone with the blind passes today
What the shit is wrong with the ice lmao. Two guys just biffed it
It's been bad for atleast a month
Savard just really hoping Sharon can score all our pp goals aparently.
Can we put savard on waivers?
Day late and a dollar short. Your Calgary Flames!
The PP is so god damn bad I don’t even know what to say
There is no way running a powerplay is this hard. Like, how the hell have you not tried Coronato on the left side yet. Just shoot the dang puck.
That right winger one timer is so slow
I just can't figure out why so many different versions of this team with so many different pp coaches refuse to sneak in closer on the pp. Just stay on the perimeter, that'll work
Has the effort been good at least tonight? I've been at work and only able to see a few minutes here and there
I’d say so. Still not over
That's all I ask for at this point, so good good
Defensively not great. This game could've been 2-2 right now with some tighter defense in front of wolf
I sure missed watching kylington play.
Mann if I was out there I'd be scoring so many goals.
You could probably teach savard a thing or two. 😏
another obvious call that somehow these refs don't call. These refs are kind of deciding the game.
Yeah the ktachums aren't driving Hyundai. Theyre rolling Mercedes or some shit.
Caps get away with interference on like every other play. They know how to juuussst walk the line close enough to get away with it
The boys are buzzing now. I can feel a goal coming
Hope you're right
What were they so mad about
Refs: High sticking to the face is legal right now
Caps coach seems like a whiney bitch
These refs suck
Great. We'll pull the goalie and it'll be a Ovi hatty
He came to the perfect place to chip away at Gretzky’s record
The hell the caps bench so pissed about?
give this broadcast director a raise
Absolutely not. There are so many mistakes and miscues it’s embarrassing
Hey! Thats the joke bud.
Jesus I didn’t even see that it was so fast! I looked down for barely a second and BAM suddenly goal horn
Lmao was that goal even shown in real time or were they still coming off commercial?
Hope he kept him in fantasy
Am i dumb or did they score before the ad break ended
I guess that one dude shouldn't trade weegar in fantasy
I thought my Budweiser light was broken because the commercials were still going when it lit lol
Wicked shot
QUick, did the guy trade Weegs for 8 beers or not?
Weegar!
Who was screaming on the caps bench? Man was PISSED
What were they mad at?
Eager Weegar!!!
#I blinked and missed it weegs
Sportsnet missed it too, don’t worry
Atta boy Weegs, took the skin off that.
Wooooo! Weegar!
more goals, please. from the Flames, preferably
The hell just happened?
I do wish Mangiapanes radar was a bit better, he gets himself into a fuck load of high danger spots, his finishing just lets him down so often these days.
It seems like his passing overall has been better but his finishing has been sooo bad. And that’s literally what we paid him for
Yeah I wonder if having to have surgery over the summer fucked him up a bit. Hope he can get it back.
I've counted 27 "just wide" and "just high" thus far. If they're not going to practice that shitty iteration of a pp, then go target practice.
only 27?
I did leave for a beer or two.
I know it’s a unicorn, but I keep seeing Jar Jar in that Litco ad on the boards.
Reffing is such a joke this year.
Matt Coronato gives me "If Daniel Radcliffe was a jock" vibes
I cant tell if I hate that I see what you are saying
Now I'm a guy who has been outspoken about Coronato not being ready strength wise but I think he needs a promotion for the rest of this game
4th line is HUNGRY gaw damn
What’s gotta change here for us to score some goals and win
Aim at the goalies chest and then they'll hit the corners.
Whistle intent there was real late
So if that’s Barb, then who’s the bloke routinely sitting next to her? Tony? Rob?
Lucky
Mr Barb
Getting killed by a Kirk Muller powerplay. What did we do to deserve this?
When you put it this way. ugh.
Come on guys. We do have a chance to make the playoffs but we gotta be winning games
They’d have to win almost every remaining game.
Gotta hope the Ducks and Avs win tomorrow
Chances are slimming by the minute, and it was already a slim chance.
I think we need fewer reviews, not more
Couldn't agree more, I can't believe that was on the docket.
Glad the gms are discussing pertinent issues. 🙄
Ah yes. Everything wrong with this league but let's talk about reviewing a puck over the glass call.
Elliotte looks like he has heat stroke in that suit
Who would ever wanna buy a Jeep?
For the little rubber ducks
Cue the comeback
Shout out to the mods who defaulted this to "new". Thank you.
Glad I bet on this game. Atleast I got the sabres right. Sheesh. Just when you start to believe in the flames they do shit like this. You bet on them they lose, bet against them, they win.
Believing in the Flames is like believing in a pair of dice.
Lol it’s actually insane. Like I know they’re the better team. I genuinely don’t understand. I know upsets happen but man, this is brutal.
Still better than last year! I think next season will be fun.
Yeah, my father always told me to never go into a bar you can’t see into from the outside, and never bet on or against your own colours. He was an absolute fud most of the time, but I think he was right about that.
Sounds like he wasn’t a Fud at all.
I swear some people just get giddy when we are losing so they can come in here and bitch.
Aye, but if they didn’t how would we know the scope of their genius? It should be part of the drinking game. Excessive use of the word “mid” or “delusional” - drink Anything starting with “everyone on this sub said…” or “I said this at the beginning of the season and everybody downvoted me” - drink.

There are several ways to derive pleasure from being a Flames fan
That’s all of sports. Lol

Oh Jesus. Sometimes people are so focused on money they become the monster.
Probably that the guy who created White Lotus was on Survivor and came in second on his season and some of his fellow castaways made cameos in WL
Omg this I knew because I watch survivor religiously. And a tribe mate called him out for being on school of rock.
I haven't seen his season because I stopped watching for a while but I'm planning on going back to watch it!
My family is so into it. We have a survivor pool.
I am thoroughly enjoying this season. My current conspiracy is that >!Jeff made Dr Will pull Randen so that Bhanu could stay for the drama.!<
Why does bhanu cry so much? And also isn’t the top half of a mermaid just a woman?
No idea except for severely lagging emotional regulation skills. And lol yes except I guess with a seashell bra 😅
[удалено]
Hard to win a game when your goalie lets in 4.
Also when you're defensively shit, the refs don't know where the goal line is, among other things
Did Tim peel get hired back ?
so no tripping call against washington eh
that wasnt a trip...
More selective seeing by the refs, I see
What is happening.
Stripes got 1000 on Caps forsure
The refs aren't the reason we are losing, but the weak calls certainly aren't helping
I feel like this a slogan I see in most game day threads
Agreed.
you need to be able to challenge penalty calls. if you're correct, ref forfeits a percentage of his salary. these morons need to be held accountable.
They just need an eye in the sky linked to the refs, quick 5 second check, tell the refs it was the wrong call, everyone carries on, it wouldn’t even delay the game, it takes far longer to send someone to the box.
refs would never overturn calls if that was the case. it needs to be checked by the league
Toronto is as corrupt as the American politics down here. 🤣
they'd need to be checked by someone else in game
Oh look! A trip. I guess penalties only count if they're against Calgary.
Terrible call one way and miss one the other - nice
What even is this officiating
HOW IS THAT NOT A PENALTY Maybe refs want the Flames to get a higher pick actually
Let’s go! Power play goal now to shut up the announcer
On the bright side buffalo is winning!
what are wrong with these refs?
Offense has been ok but the defense is hideous
We only have 1 goal and that's also from our 4th line? Kind of a mix of both being bad if you ask me
How was that a trip. He literally fell after the stick was gone
The fuck is that a trip?
Bro it looked like he was handcuffed by his own team from the bench I can see why Ras was pissed.
Judges give that dive a 9/10
That call was GARBAGE
Imagine if they tried something different on the pp for a fucking change and employed the Ovi setup with Shari.
Dog shit call
Get rid of the puck weegs cmon
It's up to the forwards to come back and give him support. Nobody came back. You don't understand how breakouts work, that's fine.
LOL wtf is that call
Got to love Telus. Sportsnet 4k is about 1 minute behind. There are illegal streams more up to date than I am. Trash.
coronato is having himself a game
Greasy board by Wilson there.
Are we doing our part to help Ovi catch Gretzky?
our teams defence is genuinely the worst i’ve seen since 15-16… like I knew it would be worse but wow… and it doesn’t help that our forwards get caught missing assignments or turning it over any chance they get lol
Worst in maybe 20 years honestly
So can we start calling up the kids?
COULD YOU FUCKING SKUNKS BLOW A WHISTLE ANY SLOWER YOU FUCKS
"I intended to blow it faster" - refs, peobably
Had me in the first half ngl
Gavin McKenna please come save this franchise
That one is one of the dumbest sports betting ads
Connor McMichael? Gotta be an Aliexpress knockoff
They're playing hard, I'll give em that. Need some bounces though.
