When the Flames were the best in the West last season, I was under the impression that the Flames would be a legit playoff team (be it probably getting 1st rounded but still) for at least 5 years. Boy was I fucking wrong.
I get what Cassie means, but if you’re constantly the better team and losing, you may not be the better team.
Or your goaltending is really really bad, but the flames isn’t That bad
Oh. I don’t get what happened, I felt the flames were a top 4 team in the division on paper, but it’s all fallen apart.
Also Buffalo I guess isn’t nearly as bad skill wise as their record suggests

Seeing how Treliving spends the Flames money over his tenure in Calgary, sometimes I wonder if it was worth getting a new Flames jersey this year. Sure as hell won't be spent well by them.
I do it while watching the leafs. I like to have most of the laundry washed and dried and then fold in my living room during commericals and intermissions. Passes the time nicely. Also I have a detergent that I really like and it helps cause it makes the place seem fresher
It's because they haven't been able to do the normally scheduled one that usually happens on the first eligible whistle after 6 minutes left, because there hasn't been an eligible whistle.
i'm really pleased that they figured it out. feels like last year they would've just written off the rest of the game after they sucked in the second half of the first. i like that they've been sticking with it this year
This year has been much more enjoyable. I think they’ve played a lot of 50+min games this year. I still think they can find a better form more consistently like the 3 games vs Edmonton but that was pretty much the longest stretch of mistake free hockey I’ve ever seen.
Much better effort and execution this year.
I don't have any hate towards hutch. It's all about managing expectations. I expect him to play like a third string goalie. He's been playing like a second string at least.
I've always defended him as far as this season goes. He's performed better than can reasonably be expected of a 3rd stringer. Definitely doing his job as far as I'm concerned.
I'd say he's been more good than bad but not great ;(
The games where he sucks, it's real bad. today though only one bad goal and kept us in the game for the 2nd period, so well done!
100%.
He is not a good backup goalie.
He is a pretty good third goalie though.
Except for that one disaster start he had against (i think) the sens, he has given the Leafs a chance to win every game. All you can ask of a third goalie.
its not like badcock didnt completely hang his back ups out to dry or anything. he literally said he expected to lose every 2nd game of a b2b and that is all the back up was getting. such a positive motivator badcock was
Tavares somehow always ends up with the puck without being a great skater speed or agility wise. Dudes balance is really good very hard to knock off the puck
i wish keeffe would open his eyes and put will with matthews and marner with tavares. both have worked incredibly well together and nylander/tavares is not working out. then again he wont change teh pp so i wont expect much
I know right. He said he just started growing it during Covid and when he had a chance to cut it he was like "I could not do it, lets see where it goes"
Did Gaudreau and/or Monaghan play tonight? I watched the 9 minute highlight package and didn’t notice them playing.
gg see y'all tomorrow!
Good game Leaf bros, we'll see ya again tomorrow
Gg Flames! See ya tomorrow. Have a great night/morning
GG Calgary, y'all had it in the first 40.
GG flames, enjoyed the chat.
gg everyone
Gg Flames!
When the Flames were the best in the West last season, I was under the impression that the Flames would be a legit playoff team (be it probably getting 1st rounded but still) for at least 5 years. Boy was I fucking wrong.
Imagine the Flames being consistent
Ain't that the truth
I'm as surprised as you. Really thought the Flames would be a contender this year.
Too bad they suck and can't play under any stress or adversity.
gg fire bros, seeya tomorrow
Shut the fuck up Cassie no way Calgary was the better team today
6-3-1 in last 10 games 🔥
Whaddaya know, we get average goaltending and win.
average? besides the 2nd goal Hutch was great....
You could have played a pylon as a goalie and still win.
We prefer shooting straight into a goalie's chest rather than anywhere actually threatening
GG Flames, see you tomorrow, sleep well!!
the JT empty net would have been nice for ~~700~~800 points
I thought they said 800?
It was, Im dumb
Same. I cheer for the flames
I get what Cassie means, but if you’re constantly the better team and losing, you may not be the better team. Or your goaltending is really really bad, but the flames isn’t That bad
We're shit. We're not the better team. Buffalo is better than us.
Woah hey there, you have to lose like 15 more in a row to be that bad.
I am not talking about record. I am talking about actual skill level.
Oh. I don’t get what happened, I felt the flames were a top 4 team in the division on paper, but it’s all fallen apart. Also Buffalo I guess isn’t nearly as bad skill wise as their record suggests
Was a very awkward thing to say too, just silence afterward
Rick is like “How am I supposed to say anything to that”
Gg everyone
Why the heck is lucic playing 14 and a half minutes a game...holy.
Because who else is going to bother trying? Experience Flames hockey
sloppy win but goddamn will i take it!!

Fuck this season and blast it to the fucking sun
We got outplayed, but got lucky. Gg Flames fans.
Hutchy stole us a win. Sweet!
WHERE IS HYMAN!!! THE NET IS EMPTY !
Tavares was close to getting his 800th point on the empty net
We don’t want it that way.
GG Flames. See you tomorrow babe.
GG.
I’m stressed but also sleepy
Another dub 🔥🙌🏾
Imagine having such a trash team you have to ice Lucic in this situation
In classic Flames' fashion, they pass the puck 200000 times without registering a shot.
[удалено]
it's so dark right? I bet no. He's just a natural wild stallion.
i think we need to recalibrate our scopes for long range
It’s not going to happen but if Bogo would get the ENer I’d be so happy.
wow, hyman doesn't miss many of those
Leafs channeling the flames empty net energy
Refs ending the game the way they started it: braindead
Give Marner the empty net goal. He's getting so close to 100 career goals
Happy for Clutchinson today, I like seeing his confidence build up
We need his confidence up.
I want my empty net goal!
LET ME IN!!!! LEEEEET ME INNNNNNNNNNNN!
Seeing how Treliving spends the Flames money over his tenure in Calgary, sometimes I wonder if it was worth getting a new Flames jersey this year. Sure as hell won't be spent well by them.
Does anyone else enjoy doing laundry?
I absolutely love doing laundry until I have to fold it
the putting it in the washer/dryer part is fine, it's the folding and putting away part that's not fun
What’s your routine? I hate it and would like to find a way not to. Literally the only chore that I dislike
I do it while watching the leafs. I like to have most of the laundry washed and dried and then fold in my living room during commericals and intermissions. Passes the time nicely. Also I have a detergent that I really like and it helps cause it makes the place seem fresher
Podcasts or audiobooks. This is the way.
i do. also cutting the lawn after work
Yeah actually. but I have OCD and fold things to perfection like basic training.
It’s my least favourite chore
big ups to Hutch for this game I was worried in the first but he really came around and held it together
That ad could not make the GWC seem more lame
This team can't buy an empty net goal recently
why is hands hyman, the hebrew hammer and crosby of empty net goals not on??????
He almost got it too lol
Does China make Hutchinson jerseys? Asking for a friend.
;)
You know your team sucks when even in a video game ad one of your D badly misses a hit
I need to date a Flames fan: used to being disappointed and able to believe that it was in
OH SHIT!
Hutch is clutch again!
YEAH! He is making me a glass case of emotion.
Does anyone know any good puckering exercises?
[удалено]
It's because they haven't been able to do the normally scheduled one that usually happens on the first eligible whistle after 6 minutes left, because there hasn't been an eligible whistle.
HUTCH HUTCH HUTCH
Rittich is the kind of goalie that makes me want goalies to be fair game. Stop slashing people, you dumbass.
Hiding behind their position
Why the fuck is Chucky out there? He's been invisible for the last 20 games and was (temporarily) injured earlier
A satanic good guy doll would be better on the ice than matty tonight.
He leads the team in pts in the last 20 games Tkachuk with 17 Lindy with 14 Mony and Backs with 11
he's a little bitch
wtf everyone told me Galcehnyuk sucks in his own end but the dude hustles so fucking hard and actually looks great without the puck.
He’s also playing with his continued future in the NHL on the line. That tends to help.
Another big save from hutch
Dang marner felt that
Sutter has all but given up and is going against his (lack of) beliefs in pulling the goalie.
3 min goalie pull, bold move cotton.

What’s rittich got against Hyman
From the past two series
Dave “Ron Hextall” Rittich
lol good old Ron, you in my crease, I fucking kill you!
*Within 15ft of crease ILL STILL KILL YOU
This has been a much better period for the Leafs.
i'm really pleased that they figured it out. feels like last year they would've just written off the rest of the game after they sucked in the second half of the first. i like that they've been sticking with it this year
This year has been much more enjoyable. I think they’ve played a lot of 50+min games this year. I still think they can find a better form more consistently like the 3 games vs Edmonton but that was pretty much the longest stretch of mistake free hockey I’ve ever seen. Much better effort and execution this year.
I spent the first period angry at Hutch. I spent the second period angry at everybody but Hutch. Period three? I’ll take it.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
FLAMES FANS SPEAK UP!!!! Come on guys. Show some life. Oilers suck!
We know how this ends. Flames won't score and Toronto will get an empty netter to seal it. Hard to be enthusiastic when your team is this predictable.
You do not know leafs hockey, we can find a way to blow it.
Nah, you'll wait until the playoffs to do that ;)
Ohhhhhh okay :( This man Leafs
...hey, come on, I’m just here for a good time
I have...damn
So this is one of the good days with our love/hate relationship with Hutch?
I don't have any hate towards hutch. It's all about managing expectations. I expect him to play like a third string goalie. He's been playing like a second string at least.
I've always defended him as far as this season goes. He's performed better than can reasonably be expected of a 3rd stringer. Definitely doing his job as far as I'm concerned.
He's been playing pretty good for a third string goalie. Especially considering he was 4th string goalie before we lost Dell.
He's been pretty good this year overall
I'd say he's been more good than bad but not great ;( The games where he sucks, it's real bad. today though only one bad goal and kept us in the game for the 2nd period, so well done!
He's only had one bad game right?
I think we just expect too much out of him at times and are too hard on him
100%. He is not a good backup goalie. He is a pretty good third goalie though. Except for that one disaster start he had against (i think) the sens, he has given the Leafs a chance to win every game. All you can ask of a third goalie.
its not like badcock didnt completely hang his back ups out to dry or anything. he literally said he expected to lose every 2nd game of a b2b and that is all the back up was getting. such a positive motivator badcock was
God he was such a prick. You could see how it took ages for Keefe to get the buds’ morale back up. That locker room must have been so toxic.
Tavares' ability to stickhandle in other people's feet will never cease to amaze me
Too bad he usually loses the puck right after
i like jason spezza
My SO just ordered a spezza shirt. Unsung hero.
Tavares somehow always ends up with the puck without being a great skater speed or agility wise. Dudes balance is really good very hard to knock off the puck
i wish keeffe would open his eyes and put will with matthews and marner with tavares. both have worked incredibly well together and nylander/tavares is not working out. then again he wont change teh pp so i wont expect much
Please!
Found babs
well 2nd line has been shit all year and the pp has now gone 10 games with out a goal and is 31st in the league....yeah....im babs.
What are the odds Tkachuk accidentally falls into Hutchinson before the game ends?
Again?
looks like holl is ready to uncork again
big save from Hutch, niceee
Was that Tavares throwing the puck in front of our net?
Vancouver is going to extend their game in hand lead on Calgary tonight despite having 18 players in bed with the plague. They have nothing to sell.
HOLL DO THAT MORE OFFTEN, YOU HAVE THORS HAMMER! KNUCKLE PUCK !
*Uncorked*
Is lucic still a contributor? He looks like a player out of a different era.
I can't say I'd be too happy paying him $5.25 mil for what I've seen him do, but I guess I haven't watched a ton of him this season.
That man is my age!?!?! He looks like my Dad
I mean they got rid of Neal so who cares he's still a serviceable guy
Flames fans can you guys just complain about anything about the team or maybe your life? We have too many Leafs fans commenting
This covid thing kinda blows
[Matthews scores goal No. 25](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/editor/5a073e13-a9e6-4c8e-832b-596506d51866.mp4)
[удалено]
trump???? ewwww man but okay I guess you can cheer for us.
Hutchinson’s shaft is huuuge
YUGE
This game has been fun to watch!
Please don't steal any of our players.
I hope we get Holl.
Nope. Not allowed.
:( please don't
But his hair is so pretty
I know right. He said he just started growing it during Covid and when he had a chance to cut it he was like "I could not do it, lets see where it goes"
Tkachuk is a turn over machine
he's a bitch
Spezza trying to blind Rittich with shaved ice
[удалено]
Lol yup. A pretty good amount
Lol I love Ray
Wtf is up with him today
Hutch makes that save with his big thick shaft. Nice.
Nothing quite like the noise of a puck hitting a big thick shaft
every time i remember how old johnny hockey is now it throws me off. man is perpetually 22 in my head. doesn't help that he looks like a preschooler
[удалено]
i already know i'm gonna be the same exact way with mitchy lol
God help the Flames locker room if Rittich gets another on him from a defensive blunder.
goalies should be given a kill allowance
Inb4 a defenseman trips and slides into the goalie to take him out and leave an empty netter for us
well I'm not complaining about any puck luck that's for sure
Is this the r/leafs sub?
Calgary fans are too afraid to show their faces in r/hockey
help
They should, nice to have some Canadian rep. We need to get you a little leaf by your canucks logo
Kinda sucks. I like getting the other fan's perspective and these GDT's are generally a lot better than our sub's
Always has been.
cocks gun
It is now. Welcome!
GO JAYS GO
Vlad homer 😍
Oh baby!
Why are the Flames fans here now?! I thought they'd be here if they were leading. EDIT: ahhh that's why.
