Bleh. What a disgusting game. In all honesty I shut it off when it went 3-0. Turned it back on when we scored making it 4-1, then it became 5-1 soon after and i went to bed. Just a horrible effort. Bennett and Smith have been the only two guys giving it their all in this series imo, and you...

What a game last night. Smith was absolutely insane, 5 or 6 amazing glove saves. Agree with @Surrealplaces though, this one will be difficult. They had lots of good chances and that top line is scary. That being said, we have so much depth - our top line wasn't even really going yet, except for...

Yup! Johnny was otherworldly in that game. Funny, the Vegas game the 2nd line burst out with 11 points and a Chucky hattrick and we all went nuts. Guess the top line got jealous, cause they came out even harder this game. Can't imagine what the third line's got in plan for Friday! We're...

Aaaaaaaaaand we did nothing. Well. I guess we added checks notes Oscar Fantenberg? Don't worry, I said "who?" as well. We have a great team and all, but just looking at how cheap some of these guys ended up being is irritating. Vegas basically ended up snagging Mark freaking Stone for an okay...

Totally agree. Those guys have been kind of underappreciated and some (like Hath) hated on for a lot of the year, glad they're getting attention now. I still think it's incredibly understated how good Lindholm has been for us. Though most of our top guys are ice cold right now, he's still lights...

I figured this would happen eventually. We're in a bit of a slump. We're still winning the odd game, we're still playing generally fine, lots of pressure in the enemy's zone but we're just not getting the wins. Vs San Jose we missed at least 6 open net chances. Vs Vancouver we piled on nearly 50...

They might be a little rusty for the first few back, maybe similar to how we started 2019. Shaky, defensive lapses, bad passes, that kind of thing. Thankfully we still won most of those. But unless a key guy gets injured long term I think we should generally be fine. All star game was a rough...

Yet another boneheaded move by Chiarelli for the Oilers, he's on a roll right now. Normally i'd be laughing or at least grinning at our arch rival's expense, but this might affect us. Maybe. Koskinen was signed by the Oilers today for an AAV of $4.5M. Koskinen's a decent goalie, but not a $4.5M...

We're at that point where - barring some absolutely monstrous collapse - we can talk not about if we get into the playoffs, but when. If the mark is ~90 points, we basically have to win 13 more games this season to clinch. Yeah. As long as we win a about a third of the remaining games, we're in...

Another win baby!! The boys have now won 4 straight and have 10 of a possible 12 points in 2019 so far. I have to say, we've not really played our best hockey for that stretch at all. Defense has lacked, some iffy goals have gone in, several turnovers in our own zone, and though Big Save Dave...

I was at the San Jose game, best game I've ever been to. Lots of people wanted Bennett's head after that hit, looked clean to me maybe a tiny bit late. What bugs me is that Dell got nothing for that vicious two-handed lumberjack spear on Bennett's midsection. Bennett didn't have the puck, wasn't...

That's more like it! Flames beat Winnipeg 4-1, we're 1 point shy of best in the west yet again. Johnny deserved that hatty, played great, it's crazy he's only had 4 so far. Shame he had to get slashed hard in the process. Another great win, Rittich is other-worldly. If anyone had any doubts...

Flames have not been great in the last 3. Only 5 goals in 3 games, and grabbing 1 point out of a possible 6. What's worse is that the two losses are against mediocre western teams - meaning they're games we should've won, and needed to win to stay ahead. I will say the Tampa game was a solid...

Giordano suspended for 2 games for a knee-on-knee hit on Mikko Koivu. I don't like it. I don't see a deliberate extension of the knee with the intention of injuring Koivu. I see him trying to block that space, and trying to move towards the boards to cut Koivu off from a free zone entry...

WOW. What a game. I nearly shut my TV off after we got down 1-4, figured I had a better way to spend my time. Thank the lord I kept watching. In a monstrous game goalies and coaches will hate but fans and goalscorers will love, we beat a pretty good team 9-6. Flames now have more 5-goal periods...

I absolutely love that design, I hope the cheapening doesn't occur with this one. Awesome how much really solid architecure we've gotten here recently, can't wait to see this one happen. This plus the arena in that area in the next ~10 ish years will totally change that area

Totally agree. Substantial difference between this year and last year. Last year, if we got a lead we'd have a hard time keeping it, and if we fell behind we'd have a hard time catching up. This year, we're 5th in 1st period scoring and 1st in 3rd period scoring, showing we can both come out of...

Another big win for the Flames and for Smitty! He could've had a goal this game if the refs weren't so damn quick to blow the whistle for no reason. Oh well, nice to win vs division rivals, even though right now the Kings don't look like they'll contend for anything other than Jack Hughes. We...

Two straight games scoring 5 goals in the first period ... that's a rarity. I wasn't overly surprised vs Vegas, they haven't been great this year, it was their backup, on the end of a back-to-back, etc. But vs Winnipeg surprised me. Glad to see some secondary scoring get in there...

Fantastic game, was funny watching all the salty Oilers fans after the game calling Tkachuk a plethora of names for not fighting Kassian. Tkachuk's tied for 1st in team scoring with 21 points, and at the time of that incident he was alone in 1st. Meanwhile Kassian has 1 goal in 17 games, he's a...
