We are nowhere close to the top tier team... but every team gets on a hot streak once in a while... maybe Flames will get on a hot streak just before the playoffs and bring the cup to Calgary.... we can dream right
- hockey4hockey

The Blues are a perfect example getting hot at the right time and further back look at the Kings when they went on that big run. They swept the Canucks I believe in the first round. But the Flames do need a better coach that makes players accountable.

Criticizing the team you love does not make you less of a fan. Pointing out objective faults isn't a bad thing. The Flames are better than the Canucks and Sens, and its not really a debate, but to think they are top tier in the league without fault is such HB Homerism .

What do the numbers in front of the team mean on tsn.ca/nhl... for example, it is showing Calgary and Vancouver playing and has 1.5 next to Calgary and 6.0 next to Vancouver. This might be a stupid question but I have no idea what that means.

Simon with Johnny and Monny, Bennett back to the 4th line!

I don’t understand Ward!!!

Coaches IQ level I believe.

Since there is no Game Day Blog.

Here are my 5 things to watch. (Screw the Corsi stats)

1: The Flames shouldn't come out in the 1st period playing like drunken sailors.
2: Chucky will be a pest tonight and score a goal.
3: Score goals
4: Win the game in regulation
5: Chucky Whip sucks a big richard

FFS putting JG and SM out there with a borderline NHLer on the right side is never going to work. Get them a franking RW already or go in another direction!

We would complain less if they played like Drunken Sailors. Drunken sailors are known to be aggressive bumholes.

They play like a bunch woke vegan college students. The kind that have macbooks and drive a prius.....and hate capitalism.

Looks like markstrom gets the start again tonight. Not that I want to lose but we gotta put rittich in at some point if that’s what it takes for this team to learn how to play without relying on our goalie to steal a win. Make us play like we’re afraid to let a shot on net because if not for markstrom I would dare to say our record would look similar to Ottawa’s right now and our team is way too talented for that to be happening

it could very well be true based on the decisions our coach makes

Thanks for explaining I was really starting to wonder there is some new numerics that hockey has introduced and I am not aware of it.

Very interesting how we were all like Hanifin sucks short while ago, and now with Tanev as his D partner, that is our best D Pairing. Tanev was honestly a good acquisition. Now we are seeing that.

Ok Maybe it's time to trade Bennet... that 4th line

Glad they yanked Mackey after the 3 minor penalties. Good message to send him to tidy up his game.

Pissed that they've moved Bennett down lineup again, and over to RW at that. Simon has been an utter waste out there. Also thought, for as much as I griped over Bennett's game in the past, he's had his 3 best games of late and this is his reward... Playing with Nordstrom and Froese.

Bet his agent just looks for these lineup cards on a nightly basis...

Like wtf ward..

Lucic line looks solid last game...split them up.

Where’s leivo?

Fuk Ward man he’s useless and in way over his head.

Exactly like Brad has to be questioning this guys coaching decisions...no?

Why not

that seems more reasonable to me if backlund is back.

Simon with Johnny and Monny, Bennett back to the 4th line!

Wards made some stupid decisions, Bennett still sleeping with his daughter?

Unless there is something internally that we don’t know. Moving Bennett to the fourth line makes absolutely no sense.
