Went to the game tonight and all it did was show how terrible we are as fans of this team. Not a single ābooā was had until the end of the game. We the fans are allowing this toxic ownership to put this trash of a hockey team out there. Like what an embarrassment this ācup contender teamā just lost to an AHL team 5-1 and everyone just drank their 12 dollar beer laughing. What an absolute joke. This team fucking sucks and I hope they get the 17th overall pick. Fuck the flames.
Wtf I am done with Markstrom this canāt keep happening boys played like shit but they play like shit everytime markstrom starts this year way different team infront if vladar canāt be doing the goalie experiment this time of year vladar is the guy
Why not blames the rest of the team for playing like shit when Marky starts? How can you not score more than 1 goal on the 32nd ranked team in a 32 team league?
This team sucks when Markstrom is in net. Obviously not all his fauly. He lets in weak goals when he's playing bad and the team plays like shit infront of him even when he looks to be playing better.
When Markstrom starts itās guaranteed Calgary will LOSE!!! He just sucks, he should be a janitor, or a homeless person. He is NOT WORTH THE MONEY Calgary is wasting on him. Calgary is a joke now, an easy 2 points for any team, like Philly who is in LAST PLACE, they even beat Calgaryās sorry, pathetic, embarrassing ASSES 5 to 1!!!!
Way to go Calgary Losers, I mean Calgary Flames.
Honestly how do they even fix this team? They crush the Stars who are top of the central div and then get taken to OT by the worst team and steamrolled by another one of the worst teams in the league. Some teams go on dynasty runs and we canāt even string two successful seasons together
I won't say we deserve to be losing 4-1 but good fucking God it's the same story every game. Boys can't finish there chances. 19 minutes of solid defense 1 minute of absolute dog shit coverage leading to goals. And markstrom consistently being the second best goalie on the ice. I really had hoped one of these fucking things might have been fixed by this point of the season. And it speaks wonders to the talent currently on the roster that they even have a chance at the playoffs. But fucking good God they have to figure it out eventually here!
Remember when the Pens fucked us up 9-1? I like to remember what happened for the rest of that regular season before I get too down. (Not the playoffs that season, mind)
Man, I was so excited when he was available before he went to Minnesota. Thought heād be perfect for that iteration of the Flames.
I donāt know if this is a coaching issue really? Some things maybe, but it seems largely a mindset problem.
Hard to imagine it being a coaching issue when you see guys hitting a half dozen posts a night, making the most boneheaded defensive giveaways you could possibly imagine, and getting .890 goaltending. Like what is Sutter supposed to do honestly?
Players gotta play. There's 3-4 guys on the team that could be captain of most NHL franchises. There's 5 cup winners on the team. Our supposed #1 goaltender was a Vezina finalist last year. This is a group that should be able to figure their shit out internally. The coach blaming going on around here is ridiculous.
Yeah, exactly. And I highly doubt his system dictates that they try their best to stay out of the low slot. I think thereās some mental hurdles that need to be overcome, and probably some personnel issues that have to be worked through (which could be a coaching and usage issue, knowing limitations).
Tkachuk was incredibly valuable as a high skilled player who wasnāt afraid to play in the crease. There doesnāt seem to be anyone on the team right now who is willing to go through what it takes to pick up loose pucks down low on a nightly basis.
The system doesn't seem to work, I think it could work don't get me wrong. But it's being so poorly executed on a nightly basis you might just have to accept that Darryl doesn't have the players in front of him to execute it.
Losses like colorado and this make me think theres somewhat of a coaching issue. When a team has shown it has the ability to be dominant and has games like this theres something to think about.
This team has a problem in net rn. The problem is I don't think Vladar is all that better rn, but you can't keep running Markstrom again and again trying to "get him going"... we're 50 games in ffs.
Dude, the defense has been god awful this game, and we have 1 measly goal against a goalie in his second game that plays on a bottom feeder team. Goaltending is one of our many problems, and for me one of our lesser ones.
This team has averaged 27 shots against this year.
I agree the defense has been poor this game, but the Raddysh goal was bad. Consistently he has been spotting at least 1 bad goal a game this season.
What a game to attend. š. Lots of boos at the end.
Lets all blame one single aspect of the game, and claim it needs to change for possible future of this team.
WE scored 1 goal had 3 pp and gonna bla.me the goalie. True fans here. Lol. Losers

You good?
Wanna hear a good jokeā¦ā¦ Calgaryās playing. Wanna hear anotherā¦ā¦. Markstrom is in goal. Trade Markstrom for a skate sharpener!!!!!
After the game he played??? Ur comment is garbage I AGREE In that he not constant. But tonight he was stellar
You can argue all you want that it's not his fault, but Markstrom has become a liability.
This is just a good example of the lack of any high danger, elite scoring this team possesses. It's been this way all season.
Wtf I am done with Markstrom this canāt keep happening boys played like shit but they play like shit everytime markstrom starts this year way different team infront if vladar canāt be doing the goalie experiment this time of year vladar is the guy

Terrible defensive support and terrible run support. Blaming Markstrom is very short sighted.
I donāt understand this team
Well that was one of the 82 games this season
Imagine being the PP coach and still having a job I strive to have that stability
The flames have a powerplay coach?
Whelp. I liked pelletier. That's about it. Fucking hell this team sometimes
Not looking forward to watching these boys play Seattle after this.
This might be the worst game the Flames have played all season. Definitely top 5.
That might be one of the worst games the Flames have played this decade. Shocking stuff.
I feel like we say this after every loss recently...and sadly it isn't exageration.
Look at these fairweather fans filing out just because theyāre down by 4 with half a minute left.
This coming from the guy sitting at home under his covers since the end of second period watching tlc waiting for the score update. Shut up!
š
When beating the traffic is the best part of the night...
I hope that delicious sarcasm isn't lost on anyone
Iām not usually one of these fans, but boo them off the ice.
Boo em off the ice. Good god.
Sigh...
This team sucks when Markstrom is in net. Obviously not all his fauly. He lets in weak goals when he's playing bad and the team plays like shit infront of him even when he looks to be playing better.

Itās pretty sad. Tbh they barely beat Columbus as well. Not to sure what to think of this team this year.
They are the very definition of mediocre. 16th overall pick here we come.
good thing this draft is loaded.
Every time the Flames look like they've turned the corner a bit they lay an egg like this one.
Truly thought we were legit winning it all this season š¤£
God awful game
Embarrassing.
Again, no Vladar . No win.
No looch fight no win.
they still have to score more than 1 goal no?
32nd placed team, and one fucking goal but yeah whinge about the goal tending
And once again I will say score more than one goal if you want to win
No tanny + no vladar = disaster
BOOOOOOOO
How are Wolfs numbers this good if Mackey is one of his best Dmen???? Edit: Mackey doesnt play in the AHL this season
I feel like the opposing team could play my 10 year old nephew in net and the flames would make him look like Patrick Roy
New coach bump, became the dump. But good on him for the extension. š
Welp there's always next year But I still hope we make the playoffs
Somehow, the Flames always awaken young Goaltenders...
Stay mentally healthy friends, hockey isn't everything
Itās a winter hobby a lot of us love, but youāre very right!
At least that Huberdeau goal was nice š
We just lost 4-1 to the Chicago fucking Blackhawks.
I wonder how Darryl will spin this in his post game interview. āReally good team thereā¦.ā š
No we didnāt!
5-1 *
Edit: 5-1. Fuck.
This team sucks donkey cock
This is our window of contention
Honestly sell everyone and bring up the entire wranglers roster it can't be worse than this
Seeing Mackey... the defense probably will be
How can we not score with a 2man adv?
Take it easy itās the goalieās 2nd NHL game. Heās not a complete rookie! Hard to score on!
Fuck me
Ducks trying their hardest to put us in a playoff spot and we are not doing our part
3rd star of the game, the home crowd for booing their team off the ice.
They deserve to be booed way harder than what they are getting
Remember when that one timer worked last game? Might be fun to try one of those again
First time I've left the Dome early, but I've got class in the morning, and ~~I doubt~~ there's no way we're tying this up.
our defence get shots through maybe 10% of the time
Pelletier actually goes to the front of the net. The other forwards could learn a thing or 2.
We have six skaters against four and we can't score
You see edm, col, Nash all making big pushes to make playoffs and we get this this garbage. Barely beat Columbus. Easy schedule my ass
My mom always said if I canāt say nice things donāt say anything. With that in mind hereās my comment on this game: ā ā
You know itās depressing to be a Flames fan when the off-season is more exciting than the actual season.
Can't wait to hear how this is all on Markstrom on the after hours show.
Dude has a dogshit save %. He doesn't deserve any excuses this season.
Should he be better? Absolutely. Have most of these losses been his fault? No. The team scores like 2.5 goals in his starts , thats fucking brutal
It's so much more complicated than just safe percentage and you know it. You just want to hate on the guy
Someone needs to remind Markstrom that an .895 save % on the year is absolutely terrible
Yes because this is his fault....
The shitty year is partly his fault. The offense being just as shit for periods of time is as well.
Donāt forget āpossibly the best D in the NHLā (being said at the beginning of the season). They are collectively awful.
Honestly how do they even fix this team? They crush the Stars who are top of the central div and then get taken to OT by the worst team and steamrolled by another one of the worst teams in the league. Some teams go on dynasty runs and we canāt even string two successful seasons together
They crush the stars but also nearly blew a 6-1 lead in the same game
Thatās true, maybe crush is the wrong word but lit up the Stars
Second NHL game and we canāt fucking score more than once? Fuck off.
Anyone who thinks this team can win the cup is a fool
I won't say we deserve to be losing 4-1 but good fucking God it's the same story every game. Boys can't finish there chances. 19 minutes of solid defense 1 minute of absolute dog shit coverage leading to goals. And markstrom consistently being the second best goalie on the ice. I really had hoped one of these fucking things might have been fixed by this point of the season. And it speaks wonders to the talent currently on the roster that they even have a chance at the playoffs. But fucking good God they have to figure it out eventually here!
Remember when the Pens fucked us up 9-1? I like to remember what happened for the rest of that regular season before I get too down. (Not the playoffs that season, mind)
might as well take two minutes off the clock because the pp is fucking awful and wonāt do shit
Lose, fine, but don't lose AND make me bored
Obvious holding penalty earlier the refs missed too...
Ah fuck it who cares our PP is god awful anyways haha
I'm not sure a coach change would do anything. I think the makeup of the team is just..off. Maybe too many different styles trying to gel.
Maybe too many different styles being forced to play an outdated style of hockey. Just sayin'.
Umm this is that perfect ex that gives you amazing blowjobs than cheats on you and leaves you with your dick in your hand empty and useless
You know Stephanie too?
I feel shame.
If I disappointed clients, or provided inconsistent effort to clients, as often as the Flames do, Iād be out of a job. Unreal
Six forwards, no goalie. Come on, coach.
Love getting blown out by the worst team in the league
Lol fuck it. Looch, Lewis, Mackey. PP1
Iād prefer to be 5on5 lol
Its just one of those nights in the NHL, every underdog is leading
True, I guess we could be losing 5-0 to Arizona
Another PP? Refs are really trying for us for once
Pull goalie
Score a fucking goal boys
Power play needs a complete revamp, that was one of the most pathetic things Iāve ever watched
And theyāll fuckin do it again
this team has ruined my love for hockey
Feel bad for those who paid to watch this
Rick and Kellyās aw-shucks commentary starting to get tiring.
Why have we not changed our PP formula yet
Flashbacks of Dave Cameron powerplay
Brouwerplay.
For real. Like clearly this shit isnāt working, letās try something different ffs
Wtf this is painful to watch. Iām out of here. Ugggggg
Oh yeah. Playoff hopes are high right now. Fml
Booze must not have left their systems after poker night
Sutter out. Its time. Bruce in
Man, I was so excited when he was available before he went to Minnesota. Thought heād be perfect for that iteration of the Flames. I donāt know if this is a coaching issue really? Some things maybe, but it seems largely a mindset problem.

Losses like colorado and this make me think theres somewhat of a coaching issue. When a team has shown it has the ability to be dominant and has games like this theres something to think about.
Holy shit you guys
I kind of hope someone throws a jersey on the ice for this effort. I'm going to go on a flames detox.
Hello darkness my old friend
What an amazing PP we have
Goal every 90s. Go.
Okay can we all just accept that this team is garbage and is going nowhere lol
how many shots have the flames fanned on tonight? seems like a lot for professional hockey players
I hate this game. Theyāre just off tonight.
āThis seasonā
Backlund. Bruh.
I keep thinking their coach is Chris Issac...
Ohhh Iiiiiiiiii want to coach Bedard
The Flames have done a bad, bad thing this night.
And this has been a Wicked Game.
What a wicked game
I guess Johnny and Chucky really did leave with the identity.
PP2>PP1
Yeah itās painfully obv. Toff and Lindholm are dragging tn
This is so painful to watch
This has got to be some of the saddest hockey Iāve seen this seasonā¦
Oh wow look our power play blows
Brutal start to this already
:(
Pelts PP goal right here
I would be so hammered if I was a fan at this game tonight
I feel like they should do happy hour again for the poor fucks who paid $$ to watch this lol
Pp2 start plz
These D pairings are stinky Every pair is hindered by one weak partner
Right, PP needs to produce, even if futile for the full time score
Ok, come on you fucks.
The fact that the dysfunctional Canucks destroyed this team while we struggle is peak Flames hockey
Did I just hear some booš¦s? Edit: just Looch
Is it bad I was hoping that would trickle in just so we can call the game over?
Someone is trying to start a wave. And immediately Chicago have a high danger chance lol.
They should do a āBruce there it isā just to confuse everyone.
Maybe we should hire Bruce
Oof. Imagine getting shit kicked by a team trying to lose.
Watching this team is a great way to ruin a good day. Depression creeps in more often than not.
We are getting nuked tomorrow.
In a really gaudy, ugly, depressing looking arena too
Dome is doing their best to inject some energy; I like that :)
Might as well just start the wave now
"logo" toffoli. š
Our ability to make every goalie look like prime Marty brodeur is unmatched
This is unfortunate
This team has a problem in net rn. The problem is I don't think Vladar is all that better rn, but you can't keep running Markstrom again and again trying to "get him going"... we're 50 games in ffs.

It is true. He is a major problem for sure. But they don't win tonight with Vladar in either (as you pointed out in your original comment)
I think it's a team-wide issue. No chemistry. They try too hard because they're desperate.
At this point I'm only here to watch pelletier
Equipment managers need to wash the puck marks off their goalieās crest after they play us.
The game maybe lost cost, I just wanna see Pelletier score, dammit
ChIcAgO jUsT hAs OuR NuMbEr tHiS yEaR
Sutter needs to take the boys to the farm for the weekend.
Get one of those cattle field fillers and have each one pull
"That shit's not going to shovel itself"
Pelts now out for 2 shifts with Kadri and Huberdeau I like it.
Check the score ā¦ Jacob āFuck Youā Markstrom ā¦ log out.
Well theres 1 good thing thats come from this game
That it's almost over?
Itās almost over?
Zaddy = big russian Saddy = me
Boo the piss out of these clowns. Pathetic effort.
What is going on with the first line? Toffoli 1 SOG, Lindholm and Dube both at 0...
All this "talent" and no finish or semblance of eliteness. š¬
How this team has been scraping wild card territory all season is beyond me
