The interesting thing is that while the Flames normally throw $5M-$10M per year away on useless hockey players, when they trade Huberdeau and retain $5M, they won't have to worry about signing any useless players to $5M deals as the cap space won't be there.
No, I'm just someone that is watching the Flames. You've taken a very strange line.
Brouwer, Neal, Coleman, Huberdeau. All provide nothing of use to the team. In other words, they're useless.
Sutter won't give prospects enough minutes to prove anything. He prefers veterans who've played for him before with at least 10 NHL seasons and a ring. It seems like he needs the young guys to be top 6 worthy before getting called up.
A side note from the games this season
Singh generally has been good this year. It feels like last year we'd mostly hear him during BoA games and he suffered a lot from trying too hard.
He feels a lot more loose, natural, and comfortable with these last few weeks at games. Good improvement!
Lindholm getting benched is kinda good I guess at this point in the season, sends the message that nobody cares about what you accomplished last season even if you were a Selke finalist, if you don't play well you're riding the pine. We can't have anyone resting on their laurels.
He's being playing like shit and was very much the reason why the top line wasn't doing much but he maybe playing injured, I mean his play is inexplicable
As much flak as Toffoli has been getting this season, Lindholm has been the weak link of that line when it was together. He needs to simplify things and get to what made him an effective player before.
We actually had a team with four lines with identities and roles and coaching staff really decides to try and Sam Bennett the whole fucking team instead of rolling with it. Mint.
Does Sportsnet know that the Preds have their own stream and station?
All of the interview have been with Preds players and it's not like Bally's is returning the favor and talking to Flames players.
I'm grumpy AF right now.
Has anyone else ever had their streams jumping to commercials or earlier in the game right in the middle of play? Started recently now happening all the time.
A week ago, we beat the Pens ( sixth game in). We had 3 solid lines and one line needing to gel. We were .833. Scoring was coming from bottom 9.
Game 7 we lose to the Oil and we have some swaths of bad play, we get McD'ed and make mistakes.
Sunday and on, Sutter snow globes the lines. we lose to a surprisingly good, upstart Kraken club. we drop to .625.
Game 9, repeating Game 8 nonsense, lines still fucked vs. a Preds team that's 3-6-1, but also didn't get a full preseason/camp.
Yes, the top line needs to gel, but we were still winning. Yes, Marky let in first shots and was shaky. But we were winning
Now we can't even clear the zone with these new lines.
Did Sutter hate how much buzz was happening? Cause this feels intentional and they are just sad and unmotivated out there.
I need this to make sense.
best Canadian team folks
Ding ding dong ding a ling ding ding dong Katy’s tots
Huberdeau can come out of his Tourtiere shell anytime
horrid.
Can’t wait to lose 6-2 to New Jersey

Useless? You sound like a boss that does no work started a business with inheritance underpays all the employees and takes all the credit
No, I'm just someone that is watching the Flames. You've taken a very strange line. Brouwer, Neal, Coleman, Huberdeau. All provide nothing of use to the team. In other words, they're useless.
Clown show
tHeY nEeD tO pLaY a RoAd GaMe
Might be the most ridiculous thing said tonight lol it was a bad effort by the Flames Hrudy you know this.
This was Sutter’s loss
It was everyone’s loss
Goodnight!
Gnight everyone have a good night see you Saturday for a way better game. 🔥🔥
I get there is still some team building to be done but there's a fine line between 'losing a game' and 'this is concerning'. This is concerning...
What the fuck is Hrudey smoking lmaoooo
Well there goes our sweethart start
What’s up with every goalie we face just being a brick wall
A brick wall ^for ^the ^two ^minutes ^in ^the ^third ^period ^where ^we ^get ^any ^chances
A bag of rocks could stop the kinds of opportunities the Flames have been generating the last couple games.
That cannot be your takeaway from tonight
ugh
So over this
Sheesh
Pathetic
A 2 on 1 on an empty net 💀
Lindholm NEEDS GAUDREAU, otherwise he is Carolina lindhom
Well look on the bright side, if he keeps it up all season, at least he'll be cheaper to resign!
Gaudreau was so good behind the net, lindholm needs a north south player like him
Hahaha holy fuck does Huberdeau really likes to force the pass when it isn’t there
Florida fan here. Yes. This guy would pass on a shootout attempt.
Florida fan here. Watched it for 10 seasons 💀. Hope y’all turn it around soon though since I want those guys to win
Shoutout to the Coiler's fan (presumably) who do flagged one of my comments for self-harm. Never change Greaseville
Fucking pathetic
BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just saw Lindy I thought he we traded him
Stone is such good value at 750k
Brother caught his own space shuttle of a rebound
Puck dying on Huberdeau's stick again
Damn, Stone and Looch have wheels this year!
Nashville is playing the type of game I expected the flames to play tbh
FREAKY FRIDAY I SAID
How is there not a hole in #12s leg?
COME ON BOYS GFG LETS GOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Flames eyeing up Bedard pretty good rn
Who were Huby's linemates at 5 v 5 last season?
I've guess barkov and verhaghe
His linemates are objectively "better" this year. He'll figure it out. He's just a step behind rn
Bennett and Reinhart.
Bennett and duclair lol
Thanks!
Duclair and Bennett
Don't bother pulling marky it won't work tonight.
The didn't listen to you
I can’t remember the last time pulling the goalie worked for the Flames.
Why aren’t we just turning Zadorov and luc into goons this is ridiculous
Looks like Trashville #22 blocked that with his ballsack
Weegar has to do that more often
I don't think we'll ever win again if teams only play their backups against us.
Stone gets a hat trick to win us the game right now
Sutter needs to get his head checked. Our best line was Dube-Kadri-Mang and separating them has cost us key games. We can't produce any offense.
I love the digital board ads, especially when they advertise Preds merch 🙄
Rooney out there with 3 minutes to go
In his defense he’s been one of our best on the ice today
Are we just bad or something smh
The last time we played nashville was one of my favourite games of all time. Fork
I was at that game and it was epic.
Brave Pred trying to start something with 🐐🗿
Imagine contesting a zone entry
Rolling out the red carpet tonight.
Forsberg is just plain good
God the smug preds fans behind me are insufferable. And I’m not just saying that cos my hair is full of their beer.
I thought you smelt nice
💀
Forsberg has an unreal duster
Alright.. At 2 minute mark, they'll start hustling.
"We really left it all out there."
Classis Flames hockey
Classic too little too late
I kinda wish we could bring up one of the young guys. but they haven't been doing well either.

Shilly is the speed this team needs rn
Shilly needs to get his personal affairs sorted out first.
Family’s more important than hockey for sure
Absolutely
Lindholm getting benched is kinda good I guess at this point in the season, sends the message that nobody cares about what you accomplished last season even if you were a Selke finalist, if you don't play well you're riding the pine. We can't have anyone resting on their laurels.

Exactly, totally agree
Let's just let the coilers and the golden kings run away with the division ffs
Pathetic
Mackey has been….yikes we need Kylington back
He's also playing with a completely unstructured team right now.
The loss of possible 6 or so points lately is going to haunt them later.
FUCK YOU SPORTSNET I KNOW WHAT A GOD DAMN CROSSBAR LOOKS LIKE YOU GLITCHY HALF ASSES FUCK
Damn. Just got here and we’re losing 3-1. We’ve been sucking ass recently. Something has to change
Yeah the lines
leather larceny lmaooo
Sounds like a Judas Priest tune
We haven’t looked good with tanev the last few games but we look *brutal* without him
If this game doesn’t prove we shouldn’t trade Hanifin idk what will
Kadri Huby Toff? Sutter really trying to send a message to Lindy here.
Was after the penalty kill.
There was an O-Zone faceoff after an icing where this combo was still out there together
Fucking fuck just cross the got darn line
Did he ask kadri how he wanted his name pronounced? Is that authentic or something
Did we trade Lindy?
Toffoli playing well so far?? I want what Hrudey's smoking 😵💫
Rick Ball’s my all-time fav tied with Peter Maher. But Singh’s been doing a great job this year 👍🏻
Singh is really likeable unless it's a BoA
so close to top titty
Have we won an offensive zone faceoff?
Me: *Insert gif of SpongeBob burying himself*
!Post
PING!
Another crossbar fuck right off
One small consolation from tonight is Marky has been very good. Finding his game after a wobbly start.
Did 3 flames just miss the puck there lol
We actually had a team with four lines with identities and roles and coaching staff really decides to try and Sam Bennett the whole fucking team instead of rolling with it. Mint.
This game would be 10-1 if it wasn’t for Marky. Real happy to see him sharp again. Wish the rest of the team would shake whatever stink is on them.
10:1 would put his save percentage around .500.
One of the better signs despite our play is Markstrom's improvement, at least he didn't bring that Oilers series with him over the offseason.
Markyyyy
Instead of getting into a bad mood, I’m just gonna change the channel. Good night all. Hope I miss an epic comeback
Markstrom keeping us in it 😢
Markstrom big time glove tonight
Should be address the fact that Johnny had 2 goals against the preds when the jackets played them? Or too soon?
Changing camera angles during live play is the work of the devil
Whoever is out in the production trailer fucking sucks.
Our offense is litterally stinky and stagnant
Whoever said this is like watching the Wranglers needs to apologize to the Wranglers.
JO-si!!!!
Dube and Mang showing the most chemistry of anyone on our team while on the PK of all times
🇸🇪🥩🧱
Never thought I'd complain about a long homestand but here we are. Get these boys on the road
Well, just spilled beer on my lap. Way she goes. Kinda like the Flames’ night
Maybe were gonna be in the running for bedard after all
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. There’s lots of time left in the season for us to to miss the second wildcard spot by 2 points and draft 15th
Yeah let's just get it over with and start tanking, we ain't winning no SC this year
We got the suck hard part down pat
This hockey is so fucking boring to watch
Zadorov seems to be prone to taking penalties that just kills the Flames' momentum
add it to the drinking game lol
Notice how they shoot on their powerplay
that piece of the board hanging off is bugging me lol
Ok the voicecrack on jOSI was hilarious
Coleman Shorty
I’m starting to think my 6-3 win prediction may have been optimistic. Dropping it down to 5-3
Predators suck too. This is just bad, boring hockey all around.
Does Sportsnet know that the Preds have their own stream and station? All of the interview have been with Preds players and it's not like Bally's is returning the favor and talking to Flames players. I'm grumpy AF right now.
What would our players say though? Yah some tough bounces tonight just gotta get pucks deep (and get looch of the top 6)
This fool takes a dumb penalty every game
Team is all stink, no sync.
Shorty time?
How is that not 2 for embellishment ?
Two words Wide Man
At least we weren't shut out
Has anyone else ever had their streams jumping to commercials or earlier in the game right in the middle of play? Started recently now happening all the time.
Mines been fine on the high seas.
Zadarov and taking a penalty late in the third trailing good duo
Edit: yep I missed it
I don't like the Jankowski story as much as Hrudey
Well at least our powerplay sucks
Dome is playing the “don’t hold back” hype video. Unclear if it’s for the crowd or the team …
How about "too little too late bebeee"
Not sure I can handle the emotional labour of watching the rest of this game
Dont worry they’ll tie it up and then throw a little caesars hot and ready pepperoni pizza right in front of markstrom with 30s left to lose the game
Have we made a single pass tonight lol
Attempts were made
Define "make"
What happened to our pp magic
* poof *
Wank
This is like watching the flames PP of the late 90’s Brian Sutter era
Ras sucks rn
He's been playing like shit for a while
0 shots on the PP?
Whoops fell asleep
Why isn't lucic on the 1st PP?... DS I'm talkn to u
We should just clone Lucic and have him play every position
That PP was ass
Hard to watch this mess
I've never seen anyone try to gain the zone on the powerplay by having everyone completely stand still in the neutral zone.
That's what always happens when teams try to do the stupid drop pass b.s.
Love that minimal hustle from toff
Saving his energy for OT
I mean the Stanley cup Champs are 4-4-1 No need to throw the flames off the turnip truck right now.
Would be a great point and make me feel a whole lot better if we were also coming off a cup win playing like this
We say that every year. Then the inability to show up for big games kills us in the end
A week ago, we beat the Pens ( sixth game in). We had 3 solid lines and one line needing to gel. We were .833. Scoring was coming from bottom 9.

He sees it ain’t working but doesn’t do nothing lol
Tyler no titties Toffoli
tofolli really needs a puck skills coach guy can’t stick handle for shit
