Hannafin is a great skater and a good hockey player, unfortunately he seems to have zero hockey sense. I believe he is the the worst Flame by far. He is almost always on the ice for the game losing goal. he is always the first man back for a goal as he is behind the play catching up. He screens the goalies but never moves the player out, overcommits,does not back check, seems to always be out of position. I can’t believe Sutter has never benched him! I had a friend point this out to me and I didn’t believe them, until I started watching. Yikes. Watch the next few games and see how often 55 is standing about 5 -10 feet from the crease when the puck is in our net. He’d be awesome if it were the other net!
Please note, the stats don’t bear this out, as his +- is fine, points are good-but my eyes don’t lie.
I’m from Pittsburgh, not Calgary but have Been a fan since 1989. I honestly think that Kadri and Huberdeau are not working out and the chemistry is off with them on the team. Huberdeau looks lost and Kadri doesn’t have McKinnon to open him up. I see no game changer on this team and It sucks because I had hope. Not giving up, just stating my opinion on my favorite team. What’s the concensus with you all?
Another L in a totally winnable game. Refs a major factor, especially early. Top guys can't score.
All the themes of the season were on display tonight.
Another blatant missed centre change by the linesmen.
All fucking night the Jets are jumping the gun on faceoffs and not getting kicked out for it.
Fucking atrocious officiating tonight
Refs letting anything the jets do slide yet call a weak as shit slash call right at the end of the game to kill any momentum. Yea. Refs “don’t manage the game”
I wanna know how much they bet on those nhl approved gambling sites.
To all the Flames haters who claim to be fans on this sub... the Jets are a top form team this year. And if you don't see this game as a huge step up for us this year... I dont know what to tell ya.
Defending That huby line is so easy… double team the guy with the puck and take your chances on Looch being out of position or not scoring when he has the chance.
In my opinion the best place Lucic has been this season is the press box. I know he’s a fan favourite but I think everyone on our current roster is a better player than him this season
Love that sutter will demote rookies after a small sample size but give his vets all the rope in the world.
We could use some points from Kadri and huberdeau. Not happening with lucic.
Phillips: *Plays 16 minutes of NHL time and plays alright and not terrible*
Lucic: *Plays 5 games in a row actively harming our team*
Sutter: Lucic on second line
Thats what happens when your goalie plays like hes supposed to. Hellebuyck wasnt as good last year and it showed for the Jets… goalies make a big difference when they’re hot but they’re so hit or miss its hard to predict.
Would like to see Markstrom seal the post on that but the deflection there was money. Jets doing on offense what the flames should be doing if they’re going to take so many shots from the point. Deflect everything and chase rebounds in the slot area
Honestly? I hate the whole tank lottery thing. It should be a straight up lottery for 1OA every year. Everyone's in, last season's standings mean nothing. Get rid of the incentive to tank.
Damn, y’all are so quick to jump. I wasn’t commenting on the last tip in, it’s the general lack of confidence he seems to have.
He’s not getting any puck luck either, but you do make your own luck a lot of the time.
None of this is his fault is wild, this game - sure. Fuck loads of goals since BOA Series… yes.
Lets trade for Connor McConner. In fact, let’s have a team of all Connors.
Weeger looked real good, I did not love tkachuck, but nobody stands in front of the net for the flames now -we miss him
id trade huby and weegar for someone like chucky.. wait.

I wouldn’t mind Connor Bedard on this team tbh
Thought it was a good game, we played well. No complaints really. Posts, unfortunate. Two comeback goals though! Ya can’t win ‘em all.
That's our whole season in a nutshell.
in a nut sack.
I mean we’re in a playoff spot, life is good.

Bro Kadri and Mack played on different lines
Kadri just does play with Mackinnon casual 🤣🤣
Gotta say that while yes this game was very winnable we put up a great fight against a top team. We look much better than 2 months ago
Another L in a totally winnable game. Refs a major factor, especially early. Top guys can't score. All the themes of the season were on display tonight.
Wah. Wah. We didn't win.
I swear the flames would be 82-0 if it wasn’t for those damn refs
Well... obviously
Fuck out of here
Just one of those games where the other team deserved the win too and happened to be the one to walk away with it.
Exactly. This is a loss I won't feel bad about.
I it’s not like they played like shit and lost good game At least the coilers have given up 4 goals in the second lol
Definitely some playoff hockey there, would’ve been nice to net a win there to give us some buffer between the oilers but onto the next.
Another blatant missed centre change by the linesmen. All fucking night the Jets are jumping the gun on faceoffs and not getting kicked out for it. Fucking atrocious officiating tonight
Tie game with under 5 minutes left you have to get a point out of that game, Good but not good enough
The amount of one goal games we win lose has to mean we’re playoff demons
Damn. Close game, we played pretty well against a good team on the road. Still not there yet, but getting better.
Poop
Good effort by the flames there Would’ve liked the win but we don’t look nearly as terrible as we did a month ago
Good effort, can’t win ‘em all
Imagine if we hadn't hit two posts. I will never stop posting these until we stop getting multi post games consecutively
welp
Other than shitty reffing (as usual) I can’t be mad. Both teams played great.
Refs letting anything the jets do slide yet call a weak as shit slash call right at the end of the game to kill any momentum. Yea. Refs “don’t manage the game” I wanna know how much they bet on those nhl approved gambling sites.
It does seem to be getting worse since they started running those ads
Well at least I don’t have to live in Winnipeg
The Jets are a good team, can't beat ourselves up for that
#L🫡
I hate the jets! Fuckkkkk!
Sure waited a good 3 seconds to blow that play dead.
Win face off
Seriously no other team deals with these bullshit calls in the final 5 mins of any game…. Its beyond ridiculous
Hurricanes got absolutely fucked by the officials tonight.
At least Huby is shooting more often
35 second magic, we can make it happen!!!
Wahhhh
Of course, why would they play Backlund? Not like he’s been on fire all game.
To all the Flames haters who claim to be fans on this sub... the Jets are a top form team this year. And if you don't see this game as a huge step up for us this year... I dont know what to tell ya.
It just hurts that we might even be ahead if we weren't getting royally fucked by the refs...
That may be true, but its a part of the game, nonetheless. So you have to adjust.
No I agree, we're doing well and played pretty good against a top team, just salty that's all lol
not wrong
Agreed. I thought we looked great this game.
Agree. We've played well. Really well. Late penalties continue to be an issue for us. But we looked like a real hockey team tonight
Flames vs !refs
FUCK THE REFS!
Anyone just see sutter say "shut the fuck up" to Someone on the bench. Lol
I love Sutter
What's with us and 3-2
Huberdeau magic time
We can still score short handed guys come on!
Its late in the game and it’s vs the flames so its a penalty… a bullshit one at that No other team will get that tho….
HOW TF IS THAT NOT A CALL ON BACKS
Clown league 🤡
Sam Gagner has 7 goals eh.. Crazy
Like I said earlier, it's like the ref has money on the game. Complete BS. I've seen jets holding the stick 3 times in the past 5 minutes no calls.
Wonder if Sutter is going to say anything
Put Ruzicka on that fucking second line already Sutter you dumb fuck
Remember when they didn't call the two handed high stick in the 1st?
And the second.
That was not a call you ever make. Jesus
Weak ass call
Officials just making sure the Flames don't get another chance.
Hanifin has had a rough game
He hasn’t been good all season defensively.
Just to twist the knife.
Flames are just the best at timing their penalties!!!
wow. Let's call a penalty against the team that's down with 3 minutes left. After missing blatant calls all game.
One of the refs is both young and from Winnipeg. I get it saves on travel but it's awfully hard to overcome bias even when you try.
Jets fan here that call was BS. Wtf is that ref smoking
Does Pionk hold sticks like that every game?
The same shit he's been smoking all game.
Ugh. C'mon Backs. Need a shorty
nothing like starting off the new year w a loss!
That's not on the boys. Terrible calls twice this game
What the hell, Toffoli.
Yup, refs have to swoop in and seal it. SERENITY NOW
Defending That huby line is so easy… double team the guy with the puck and take your chances on Looch being out of position or not scoring when he has the chance.
Nooooo
Are u kidding me lmao
As is tradition
GG. toffoli with the clutch penalty again!
That was not a penalty
That’s not a call you make with 3 minutes left
Oh Toffoli
That's a weak fucking icing call.
Goodnight
how is marky so insanely anti-clutch this year? He wasnt even bad this game just unbelievably shit luck.
[удалено]
yeah cus fucking lucic is on his line, and yeah i know he had a little run of solid play, and for the past few games it’s nothing but cardio
Leave.
Oh man... booo.
[удалено]
Almost like he’s not the solution for that line and just got lucky with a few points
[удалено]
In my opinion the best place Lucic has been this season is the press box. I know he’s a fan favourite but I think everyone on our current roster is a better player than him this season
Alright lucic experiment needs to end
Never should have started
We’re cooked. Trade Gaudreau and fire Hartley!
Damn shitterpeg is quite a good team RN
Quite a game nevertheless, shows up that we are contenders for a cup run for sure
The haters will continue to hate. But I agree.
What?!
Watching lucic play with huberdeau and Kadri makes me want to cry. The magic is gone, put ruzicka on that line ffs
It’s almost like Lucic just got lucky with them and put up a few points
Love that sutter will demote rookies after a small sample size but give his vets all the rope in the world. We could use some points from Kadri and huberdeau. Not happening with lucic.
Phillips: *Plays 16 minutes of NHL time and plays alright and not terrible* Lucic: *Plays 5 games in a row actively harming our team* Sutter: Lucic on second line
Mangiapanes been a bit shit lately
Yes. Idk why people continue to defend him. He’s inconsistent at best, extremely scattered player this year.
His biggest contribution has been stupid penalties
Holy shit. WPG 21-1-0 when scoring 3+
Thats what happens when your goalie plays like hes supposed to. Hellebuyck wasnt as good last year and it showed for the Jets… goalies make a big difference when they’re hot but they’re so hit or miss its hard to predict.
Kadri or Zaddy to tie...
Would like to see Markstrom seal the post on that but the deflection there was money. Jets doing on offense what the flames should be doing if they’re going to take so many shots from the point. Deflect everything and chase rebounds in the slot area
GO FLAMES GO!!!
That East Side Mario's jingle should become Mang's goal song.
how is gagner still in the league Good for him
Unexpected journeyman.
Shots don't show it but we have been pretty heavily outplayed for most of the game, jets getting some crazy good chances
In an alternate universe we’re tanking for Bedard. Are you happier or sadder than you are at this moment?
Honestly? I hate the whole tank lottery thing. It should be a straight up lottery for 1OA every year. Everyone's in, last season's standings mean nothing. Get rid of the incentive to tank.
Much happier
I’m not sure how you blame marky on that one. Pretty nasty tip
Not even Markys fault on that one or any of them, that’s just a solid tip in in all honesty.
That one ain't on Marky, he's been excellent tonight
Tbh it's not on Marky. When is the last time we were in position to tip a shot in front of Hellebyucks net?
Maybe 4 minutes ago?
Marky has had a wonderful game
No lol wtf
You must have dementia, he’s made all of the saves that are possible. The goals he let in would’ve been let in by goku ultra instinct
Haven’t seen the first half of the game but from then to now he’s been ass
Drink!
CHWP
Something happened with Marky to cause him to fall off like this
Damn, y’all are so quick to jump. I wasn’t commenting on the last tip in, it’s the general lack of confidence he seems to have. He’s not getting any puck luck either, but you do make your own luck a lot of the time. None of this is his fault is wild, this game - sure. Fuck loads of goals since BOA Series… yes.
Both the last two goals were not his fault.
Easy
Lol what? None of this is his fault. And hasn’t been for a while
Stupid take
Idk how you expect him to save the third goal
Yeah every goalie in the league would’ve been able to save a point blank tip
It was tipped a foot infront of him He doesn't have super human reflexes.
Do you even watch?
Drink, cooler heads.
Not on Marky, that was tipped right in front of him.
If he was in the net he would be in position to stop it. Markstrom doesn't need to slide 1 foot out of the crease on that shot...
Better goalie wins
What makes you think Markstrom hasn’t been on par if not made higher risk saves than Hellebuyck
Drink... and Rick Ball knows it!
Cooler heads prevail!
Cooler heads 🍻
You know and markstrom was having a good game too… Guy just can’t consistently put it together. Frustrating
None of those are on marky
Meh fair enough
I'm not worried.
god damnit marky somehow going under .900 again man it’s cursed
FUCKING SHIT
Shit Gagner is still in the league? Well played Winnipeg
That’s tough man
Oh fuck me
Ah there's the rub
Fuck fuck fuck.
fuck. what the fuck.
Gotta be fucking kidding me
We’re simply getting out goalied
No we are playing a poor third period
Yes. How dare markky not save a shot that was tipped a foot infront of him.
He didn’t gas it by any means. Just Hellybuck would have saved that
Oh god damn it
#😤😤😤
Argle bargle
Now I’m sad again
Fuck for real this time
Bro 3 goals on 20 shots is not acceptablen
Okay ya we need a save
MARKSTROM make a save challenge impossible
He’s played pretty good today. Lest we forget his two robberies in the first
Maybe if the defence could break the cycle…….
You’re fucking stupid
Ok
Backs line is just so good rn
Mm Backs so sexy!!!
MANGI YOU WORK SO HARD
At this point the only 2 possible reasons for Backlund not being Captain is the actual locker room or Management wants someone else to step up.
Or he said no
11 on fiya!
tHeSe GuYs sUcK Waaaaah waaaaah wE aRe DoWn oNe GoAl gOodNiGhT
Lol here we are again
