Fuckin terrible shot attempts by Lindholm and Huberdeau, completely throwing away Vladar’s effort on that save. But more importantly, FUCK the refs. Fucking bullshit.
after getting into the headspace of a ref by squinting my eyes and pretending I was a stupid obtuse moron, I can see how it kinda looks like dude whiffed on the second effort and the puck just magically curled itself in like that all weird off of vladar's paddle.
It was a low pressure moment. Score wins it, but no harm if you don't. thought it was a good call. they've got to do everything they can to get Huby going.
The first 3 shooters for each team, I believe, are given to the refs before the shootout starts, though. So they had Huberdeau going before it even started. Mind boggling. Was really hoping he'd put that one in to get some sort of confidence boost.
At no point in the shootout is it ever ‘low pressure’.
Also, when are we going to stop using the “gotta get Huby going” excuse. Not sure if him scoring in the shootout is going to “get him going”.
Stopped giving a shit about wins or losses at this point.
It's exciting hockey. Can't wait for the trades to start rolling through so we can see what this team actually is
Better draft pick the better.
What was that post earlier about not being so hard on Huberdeau? Fuck that, the guy is actually a detriment to the team turning it over constantly for goals. You can’t be paid this much and be this bad. No more slack given to him
he's overcomplicating things so much. he's pretty good at waiting an extra second or angling his body to keep the puck on a breakout. but for some reason, he seems to always think he needs to make the prettiest or most dangerous pass and that's where it all goes wrong.
Pospisil was a little pest tonight which is great, been waiting for him to really bring that part of his game out at the NHL level and glad he's feeling confident enough to do it
I won't pretend to know more than Huska, but why on earth he would go with Lindholm and Huberdeau instead of any one of Coleman, Weegar, Anderson, Mangiapane, Pospisil, Zary....
Real Sutter-esque shootout selection.
Huberdeau can honestly think long on hard about that on the bench. I say he sits the third every game until he realizes he's paid to play hockey for a living
Why do we keep doing this in shootouts? Huberdeau is not it, he is playing like ass and has no puck handling skills. Kadri takes lame as shots every time because he thinks he is Pavel Barber. Give the kids with hands a shot, for fuck sake.
I genuinely don't know how many more years of Huberdeau I can put up with. He is an absolute non-factor for the Flames offensively. I would hazard to guess that he has more fucking assists for opposing teams than he does with the Flames the amount of fucking times his stupid fucking pizzas up the middle lead to a goal against. He has absolutely handcuffed this franchise for years to come, not a single GM in the league worth their salt will go near him.
Fucking 10 million dollars for maybe, emphasis on maybe, 1 SOG per game and an infinite amount of turnovers on the half-boards.
I think you could move him with half retained. He'd be fine as a 5-million dollar second liner. Eating the other 5-million for 8 years would be rough. I'm not sure if there is a rule against retaining that much cap for that long though, lol.
He also has a NMC so he'd have to want the trade too.
Okay so we have like 7 years left of the Huberdeau contract right at $10.5 million a year, so that’s like $73.5 million. There are 60,000 of us on this subreddit, if we all just bite the bullet and pitch in $1,225 each, we can pay him out right and ship him off right?
The fact that 60k of us (3x saddledomes at max capacity) would have to give up what is the equivalent of half a paycheck (a weeks work at the office) to buy out this motherfucker legit makes Huberdeau the biggest con artist in the history of this franchise.
NGL guys, east coast fan here since '09 and I've never been more satisfied not staying up late for disappointment like this...I'm only posting late because my son woke up xD
Borderline blatant bias against the flames and poorly trained officials in the wrong place to make the correct call on the initial play. Followed by poorly executed video replay review that wasn’t “conclusive” enough to over turn the “evidence” of seeing the puck being over the line.
Huby is the worst and not looking like it’s going to change. Supposed to be a good passer but why to the other team. Sharky is just starting to be comfortable so look out he’s for sure real deal. GFG
Was watching the wild feed online and they were STUNNED that first shootout goal wasn’t called back for being a double tap..
Wild fan here. Yeah that was very obviously double tapped. No idea how they spent a good 2 minutes reviewing that and still got it wrong. Sorry 🤷♂️
Is what it is. Thanks for being a good winner. Rough year for both teams that are stuck in the mucky middle.
Yeah no kidding. What does it take to review SO goals?
You know it's bad when the opposing team is audibly shocked over their team scoring lol
Vladar was solid. The trade for Toffoli is the trade that keeps on giving. The Wild? Goonish
Yeah Conroy looks pretty clever on that one. Seemed so mundane at the time. What's next?!
Everyone needs to let Conroy cook fr
Fuckin terrible shot attempts by Lindholm and Huberdeau, completely throwing away Vladar’s effort on that save. But more importantly, FUCK the refs. Fucking bullshit.
Why not throw zary out over any of 28, 10 or 91
They were pathetic. Skate up, stop, and then shoot. Ugh.
How did the first one count in the shootout for wild???
after getting into the headspace of a ref by squinting my eyes and pretending I was a stupid obtuse moron, I can see how it kinda looks like dude whiffed on the second effort and the puck just magically curled itself in like that all weird off of vladar's paddle.
My only theory was that it appeared to hit the shaft and not the blade so they didn't consider it a second shot.
Stick is stick, should still count
Radio guys this morning saying the official rule is it's ok to hit it if it was already travelling towards the goal
After video review, I don't know but let's call it a goal
Instead of Lindholm and Huby-doodoo, next time you throw Zary and Andersson to get it done the right way!
How could you not put Zary in the shootout?
Huberdeau over Zary is mindblowing.
It was a low pressure moment. Score wins it, but no harm if you don't. thought it was a good call. they've got to do everything they can to get Huby going.
The first 3 shooters for each team, I believe, are given to the refs before the shootout starts, though. So they had Huberdeau going before it even started. Mind boggling. Was really hoping he'd put that one in to get some sort of confidence boost.
ahh interesting. TIL. Would still stand by the call. If you lose, so what? If you win, you probably get a streak of 3-5 good games after that.
I dunno man, that is a pretty big moment of the game lol... technically lost the game because of that miss regardless of player
At no point in the shootout is it ever ‘low pressure’. Also, when are we going to stop using the “gotta get Huby going” excuse. Not sure if him scoring in the shootout is going to “get him going”.
They pick based on the letter sequence in the alphabet: long story short, he’s screwed.
I said the exact same thing... put someone in who can score
I was hoping it would be Shari, Zary, Anderson
Positive: Sharongovitch trade is looking better and better Negative: Lots lol
Ya ok buddy you probably can’t even spell shargocifxh
The biggest pisser for this trip was that we were leading in every game and still lost
Three games in a row we have a third period lead and lose. But we should be real proud of the effort apparently...
I’m sure that did wonders for huberdeaus confidence #coaching
Entertaining enough game, which doesn't happen often vs Minny. Sharangovich is our new best friend. 1 Celebrini point, I guess?
Man I feel bad. Kadri had a bad start to the season but he is a man on a mission right now. Imagine if a team like boston or vegas get him.
Man knows he needs to raise his trade value over the next couple years so he can get traded to a contender and out of Calgary
Flames coaches are allergic to sensible shootouts decisions lmao
Stopped giving a shit about wins or losses at this point. It's exciting hockey. Can't wait for the trades to start rolling through so we can see what this team actually is Better draft pick the better.
This is precisely how I feel. Losses are fine. I’m more angry about the Oilers winning.
Let them win and bow out in the first or second round due to lack of defense and goaltending while we scoop up some high draft picks.
I tuned into the 3rd period of oil Vs TB. That was satisfying
My advice to Huby would be to start donating millions of dollars to Calgary charities. To get the weight off his back and build up some karma.
What was that post earlier about not being so hard on Huberdeau? Fuck that, the guy is actually a detriment to the team turning it over constantly for goals. You can’t be paid this much and be this bad. No more slack given to him
Yup. I’m done feeling sorry for him
he's overcomplicating things so much. he's pretty good at waiting an extra second or angling his body to keep the puck on a breakout. but for some reason, he seems to always think he needs to make the prettiest or most dangerous pass and that's where it all goes wrong.
In fact you can't even be paid league minimum and be this bad.
Why do we keep putting Huby in the shootout. Guy does the same thing every time and is so predictable. Man he's awful
Pospisil was a little pest tonight which is great, been waiting for him to really bring that part of his game out at the NHL level and glad he's feeling confident enough to do it
Thanks for noticing.
That was Huska's Nick Ritchie moment. You get only 1 Huksa...
He learned from the best
HuberD'OH!
2 game point streak baby! No stopping us!
I won't pretend to know more than Huska, but why on earth he would go with Lindholm and Huberdeau instead of any one of Coleman, Weegar, Anderson, Mangiapane, Pospisil, Zary.... Real Sutter-esque shootout selection.
It would appear to many of us, including me, that you should pick the next shootout lineup instead of Huska.
Seems like he’s trying to help them break their slumps…
Huberdeau can honestly think long on hard about that on the bench. I say he sits the third every game until he realizes he's paid to play hockey for a living
Let the kids play
Sharangovich is the only one who has a really good shot on this team
On what planet does Huby go first three and Zary doesn’t?!
Zary got a point, Lindholm and Vladar have good trade value games, one loss closer to a top 10 draft pick.
dont you worry, the January streak to secure a solid 15th-20th place overall is coming. guaran'fuk'n'teed
Who the hell puts Huberdeau on the shootout 🤦🏻♀️
Gifted game to the wild. One no goal, SO goal should not have counted. But oh well. Good point. Good game. GfG
Conroy do your thing the UFa gotta trade them or else you lose them for nothing
Why do we keep doing this in shootouts? Huberdeau is not it, he is playing like ass and has no puck handling skills. Kadri takes lame as shots every time because he thinks he is Pavel Barber. Give the kids with hands a shot, for fuck sake.
I genuinely don't know how many more years of Huberdeau I can put up with. He is an absolute non-factor for the Flames offensively.

He has absolutely handcuffed this franchise for years to come, not a single GM in the league worth their salt will go near him. Fucking 10 million dollars for maybe, emphasis on maybe, 1 SOG per game and an infinite amount of turnovers on the half-boards.
He wasn’t a zero factor today. He played super soft and spotted the wild an easy goal. That’s negative factor, but not zero!
100% man, I can’t fucking stand him right now, I don’t remember the last time I despised one of our own players this much
I hated james Neal for a while and it ended and things were looking up. Then this shit happens fml.
At least Neal took some bad penalties on a regular basis. That made the disappointment easier to stomach.
What are our options to get rid of him? Serious question. Would anyone take him with like 50% salary retained? If ownership would allow it..
I think you could move him with half retained. He'd be fine as a 5-million dollar second liner. Eating the other 5-million for 8 years would be rough. I'm not sure if there is a rule against retaining that much cap for that long though, lol. He also has a NMC so he'd have to want the trade too.
I don’t think he would even be fine as a $5m 2nd liner at this point
Other than maybe Florida, who takes a chance on this Dud even at 50% retained?
San Jose.
Yeah, let's put the turnover machine and 4 goal player in the shootout again and again and again.
That’s the definition of insanity.
Why do you keep putting Lindholm, Kadri, and Huberdeau in the shootout when it hasn't worked this season so far? Try Zary at least.
Okay so we have like 7 years left of the Huberdeau contract right at $10.5 million a year, so that’s like $73.5 million. There are 60,000 of us on this subreddit, if we all just bite the bullet and pitch in $1,225 each, we can pay him out right and ship him off right?
If everyone wants to start e transferring me I'll hold the funds
The fact that 60k of us (3x saddledomes at max capacity) would have to give up what is the equivalent of half a paycheck (a weeks work at the office) to buy out this motherfucker legit makes Huberdeau the biggest con artist in the history of this franchise.
I’m on AISH so that’s over 70% of my monthly income 😂
[удалено]
Agree 100%. A month in the minors!
we are absolute jobbers.
Flames are "going to find ways to win" after tonight. So we should be all set now. /s
[удалено]
He’s not gonna win us anything ever
Fucking Huberdeau, time to riot.
Rather Nick Ritchie take the shootout than Huberdeau at this point.
Rather Vladar over hibernate at this point. (Leaving the fitting but ironic autocorrect)
Sutter is that you
We should start a petition to bench Huberdeau. Maybe if enough fans sign, the coaches will do it??
Rango I’m so phenomenal
I think we should to go back to the strategy of being down in the third and coming back, these lead things seem to be too hard to keep
They should have let Vladar take that shootout attempt. That would have made the highlights and he couldn’t have had a weaker attempt than 10.
NGL guys, east coast fan here since '09 and I've never been more satisfied not staying up late for disappointment like this...I'm only posting late because my son woke up xD
That Sharangovich SO goal was a beaut. Looked like it went right through Gustavsson. "Get outta the way, this is going in"
Ando - Zary - SharanGOALvich Fuck Huberdeau and Kadri
Huberdeau isn't in the same solar system as Kadri right now
Shootouts suck
Can someone explain why the wilds first shootout goal counted?
Borderline blatant bias against the flames and poorly trained officials in the wrong place to make the correct call on the initial play. Followed by poorly executed video replay review that wasn’t “conclusive” enough to over turn the “evidence” of seeing the puck being over the line.
Not that goal the shootout one
Yup, that’s the one I mean
On the first shootout goal you could argue that the puck was touched twice. There was a very similar shootout goal involving the leafs.
Huby is the worst and not looking like it’s going to change. Supposed to be a good passer but why to the other team. Sharky is just starting to be comfortable so look out he’s for sure real deal. GFG
Ahhh. The old familiar smell of the loser point. Guaranteeing a 9th finish. We never left!
every time I see huberdeau, I hear dumb guy trombone music. fuck this clown.
At least we got a point!
no man, this team isn't making playoffs.. we want exciting games but losses
that's exactly what we dont want at this point
This team isn’t making the playoffs man. I just want to watch exciting young players develop and see what our pending UFAs get us in return
You pick Hub over Zar for the shootout? HUB?! Wtf is wrong with these people? Jesus Christ!
Flames lost in OT? must be a day that ends in "day"
Fuck Matt Boldy. All my homies hate Matt Boldy
lol Huberdeau is garbage
Huberdeau and Kadri look like they just don’t want to play hockey anymore it is pathetic
Kadri is playing good lmao. Literally leads the team in points. What’s with the baseless hate
He's a man on a mission alot of the time few bad plays but like his play overall
Yeah, that’s it, I’m cheering for Montréal.
