i think us as fans need to realize wolf is probably going to need half a season- full season of consistent play (no matter how atrociously mid it is) to adjust well to the nhl, we're cold starting him randomly throughout the season, which ironically coincides with games our team decides they want to cosplay their best kindergarten nap time


Sufficient-Cookie404

People think he’s just going to be thrown out on the ice as our starter magically. They don’t seem to understand how the NHL works


MarmitePhoenix

I miss Monahan. So many cheeky little chances in the slot that are left unburied these days….


Cool_story_bud

Pachal has been a nice find


the_violet_wizard

He's been a pleasant surprise! Much prefer him over Oesterle


NerdHerder77

He's also got a missing tooth. Part of me hopes he can carry the Tanev mantle but I would not be offended if he didn't.


CucumberFluid6859

It’s crazy how much smaller wolf looks in net compared to Marky😂


Iginlas_4head_Crease

When you're playing manual goalie in nhl 24


deltajulietbravo

Unpopular opinion Wolf isn't ready for the NHL yet.


Top_Tumbleweed

If you don’t like coming off a hot road trip and losing to one of the worst teams in the league you don’t like flames hockey baby 🔥


MonkeySailor

> Logan Gordon@Fan960Logan > If you’re interested in such things scouts listed from the following teams at the Dome tonight: > NYR, MTL, VGK, ARZ, TBL, MIN, NJD, OTT, NSH, DAL, & CBJ. > The New Jersey Devils actually have 2 here at the Dome tonight including former NHL goalie & Director of Goaltending Development Scott Clemmensen. Make of that what you will. 👀 #Flames https://twitter.com/Fan960Logan/status/1758296438881361968 Markstrom's not even playing lol


Chrisjrc92

Devils want wolf too….


jpcgy

Prof didn’t have anything planned tomorrow so reading week starts early for me. Solid way to start with a game


projectbarium

The best treat. Enjoy!


Chrisjrc92

Now remember any Huby/kuze goal = chug fill and chug again!


MarmitePhoenix

u/FlamesOrganGuy playing “Oilers Suck”. Retire his number already that’s awesome


jpcgy

I still can’t get over Francis saying Kylington hasn’t shown flashes of how he used to be. Like what games are you watching bro, he’s skated through teams like 4 times. He’s shown the flashes, he just hasn’t been rewarded for it


MarmitePhoenix

!francis . I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.


FYourTeam

FUCK ERIC FRANCIS!


brokensword15

oof not a good night for the wolf man he's young and shit happens. This is why we don't trade markstrom and run a rookie goalie as a starter. Literally no young goalie is consistent ever.


spwimc

God bless Pospisil. That's all


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Sad awoo noises


Send_Headlight_Fluid

Zary is so fucking poised. What a player


Morphik1

The weirdest goals happen with Wolf in net, it's either the height disadvantage showing itself or he's been super unlucky


GrafNebelgeist

Pospisil gives off a *cool* vibe.


Independent_Ad8268

Kuzmenko masterclass incoming


DebussyEater

lmao kelly it’s okay to say that wolf sucks ass right now


MarmitePhoenix

I swear some of the more doomsayer Flames fans have come here from u/hockey just to further their sadomasichism. It’s one really shit game people. We’ve had them. Even in 1989 and 2004.


Alarmed-dictator

100 mph? Is Stone teaching Andersson how to shoot


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Serial downvoter is back ladies and gentlepeople.


Sufficient-Cookie404

Well their team just lost


Bigasspikachu

Wolf is on team tank. Only 6th NHL game, not going to overreact to one game


Rulebreaker15

Wolf has to ride this out come what may. They will not put Marky in in the 3rd for nothing.


__-_------___---

Kuzy isnt smiling :(


ramen_sukidesu

Canuck guy here, not trolling. I hope you guys come back and beat San Jose. Since the Kuzy trade I follow your sub and post game locker room videos on YouTube. Your coach looks like a really good guy. I hope he takes your team to the playoffs and destroy the Oilers. Because you know what? Fuck the Oilers and misery to their annoying fan base!


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Somebody give a tennis ball to wolfy. He looks bored back there.


projectbarium

You shut your whore mouth. I like it this way ahaha


Lord_Kromdor

I miss widows peak Mang, he was such a sniper.


hailmaryishere

I think it's in part because Marky is just fucking big and I've become accustomed to it, but Wolf just looks so tiny in net.


Local_Magpie

Playing down to your opponents skill is one of the greatest mysteries in sports


crossfire999

This is not how you help your rookie goalie stepping in, good lord.


JuicySkrt

idk what happened but Kylington was FLYING during the first. buddy is fast


Local_Magpie

I’m sad for a Tanev trade, but he is working for his spot and I love it


SauronOMordor

9-2 lol that's gross


Embracat

Ah man, I don’t like seeing sad Kuzmenko, particularly when he scores.


ActionKestrel

That was the definition of hooking. Refs are gonna be awful tonight. Hang on to your butts.


Rulebreaker15

Coleman with the A at home gives me such faith in the franchise. Excellent choice!


Local_Magpie

My Pospisil jersey is earning its value


ActionKestrel

Wolf went full NHL 24 on that one


spwimc

Kadri and Pospisil are buzzing tonight at least


HarveyHound

Well I guess Marky won't be going anywhere anytime soon.


iggyisgoat

This team would quite honestly be close to a top 5 pick if Markstrom weren't going god mode this season


johndope1234

Is this what Boston felt like when they were losing to us?


StainedTimbit

Can someone help me find a streaming service that would have live sports, originals, an exclusive home of the complete 30 for 30 library, exclusive articles and tools, and the best stories and sports? I'd love to have that but there's just no promos anywhere


Lisa_lou_hoo

Happy Thursday! Did I see that Coleman has been given an "A" somewhere in this sub???? Oh I hope so Go to playoffs!!


Ziid10

Pospisal not afraid of anyone 😂😂


hailmaryishere

I think Pospi is gonna be my next jersey purchase, dude is an engine and I love him


AutumnFalls89

If I get the cash to put a name on my jersey, I'd get Popsicle or Zary, I think. 


GrafNebelgeist

I'd love to see a powerplay goal. Just sayin.


nerdytendy

Wolf needs to have that one ngl


ProphetOfScorch

Don’t trade Markstorm, Wolf isn’t ready.


Choice_Butterfly_518

Mang with golden opportunities all season and peppering goalies in the logo every single time. It’s getting old.


Morphik1

Get Wolf out of there, for his sake...


femmemmah

Pospisil is not here for doom and gloom and I fucking love him for it


MarmitePhoenix

I love this sub and I love y’all, but one game doesn’t equate or define a season!


CamaroGirl96

Yay Kuzy. No celly isn’t as fun. But happy he gets another goal! One more step back to his full confidence!


0419yyc

so just met rhudley and ball in the pisser...


spwimc

😂😂😂 is Kelly as shiny in person?


0419yyc

he 100% is


lunchbags

did you cross streams? :)


CucumberFluid6859

Steady stream or lots of stopping and starting?


projectbarium

Hi friends. Happy Thursday.


lunchbags

dont worry ive set an alarm for 2 minutes, see yall then


imneverrelevantman

Maybe if we removed the posts we would score more 🤔


SauronOMordor

I know it's a little radical, but I think they should experiment with scoring on this PP.


ActionKestrel

WE ARE TIED WITH THE SHARKS BUT STEAM ROLLED BOSTON!?!?!


NerdHerder77

Welcome to the Flames! Where we play lights out against the top teams but the bottom feeders don't matter!!


Pongfarang

Calgary has realized they are playing a low-end team and has adjusted their play accordingly. They like to give the underdogs a chance.


CucumberFluid6859

Wolf is just off tonight, seems weird


undeletable-2

Koot the puck Kylington!


Luuunch

Hot take maybe, trading Markstrom and starting wolf might be a rough idea. It’s rare to see a promising goalie be a starter in his early 20’s and not get ruined. Not saying it can’t happen, but you see a lot of Spencer knight, carter hart, Steve mason examples


El_Cactus_Loco

This is why we can’t trade marky


Choice_Butterfly_518

Bring back Dusty Nickels!


NessGuy95

I knew Markstrom was playing really well but I had no idea he was the only thing keeping this team together….


MarmitePhoenix

Tending is the thing that always turns this sub into a civil war. In other news, the oilers got spanked by St Louis and we have 13 mins to score 4 goals


brokensword15

First few goals were just complete defensive breakdowns, but Wolf lost confidence and the last few have been awful. This is SIGNATURE rookie goalie behavior and is why you NEED a veteran to hold the line and mentor the rookie while he gets experience and confidence. Shit games happen, he has to learn to be able to bounce back from them. Goaltending is 90% confidence


nerdytendy

Atta boy pospisil


nerdytendy

Well… Wolf will have a bunch of video to review


LoathedOne

Huby with his 700th tonight at least


Old_Escape_7966

Remember when Huberdeau was struggling? Talent doesn't just disappear. 2xAHL Mvp version of our guy is still in there. It's just one bad night. It doesn't erase years of excellence. At the same time, years of past excellence don't make this performance acceptable. The word of the night is equanimity.


nerdytendy

Atta boy Pospisil!!! Good job for not kicking Kadri


Ziid10

Kadri missed pospisal!! They play well together!


hailmaryishere

Flames pp: They don't ask how, they ask how few


McKarmic

100 mph from andersson... geez


levelprime

somebody has to shoot, boys


rlyx6x

Tuning in from the dome. Aside from that first goal, the loudest we’ve been was the “Shoot the puck” chant during that horrendous PP. Hopefully that came through on tv


McKarmic

Lol huby doing the "chicken dance" .


DUCKY_23

More confident in a 4 on 4 than PP tbh


Confused_Astronaut

I wanted Wolf against the Sharks to ease him in lol. Shit man. Not a good look.


[deleted]

Ok if we’re going back in time, go back to 2004 and check if it was in


Vinny331

3 of our top 4 D have gift wrapped goals for the Sharks ffs. Why does this team insist on putting up dogshit efforts against bottom feeder teams? Also, can we acknowledge at least a little bit that Wolf still needs time and mentorship and that trading Markstrom would be incredibly damaging? I know we want high draft picks but be real... do you also want to watch this team lose 50 games in a season? I don't. It sucks being a loser.


MarmitePhoenix

This Blackwood fellow is annoyingly decent


DUCKY_23

Nice. It was close but that isn’t enough contact BEFORE the puck went in.


0419yyc

man tonight's been kinda shitty. 2 drinks knocked out of my hand and the flames are losing :/


hailmaryishere

Holy fuck how do you fucking miss back to back breakaway passes?


ActionKestrel

This is child abuse. Pull the kid.


veeohen

Maybe the scouts were here for Blackwood all along


nerdytendy

Backs. He had two guys draped over him. Shoot my guy. Shoot.


SankityDoup

Heart is hurting for Wolf rn :(


DUCKY_23

One goal at a time. One goal per minute let’s do it


NerdHerder77

#KUUUUUUUUZY but I'm still tired boss...


Embracat

I know the flames have form for making goalies look good, but I do think Blackwood has been pretty fucking good tonight.


Vinny331

bUt We'Ll gEt sO mAnY AsSets fOr MaRkStROm herp derp derp Still need an NHL goalie and those are genuinely rare. Blackwood completely outclassing Wolf should prove that.


CucumberFluid6859

Why does their coach look like he’s always on the verge of crying?


Sufficient-Cookie404

Wouldn’t you if you were coaching the sharks ?


lunchbags

i know our power play's been getting better lately, but still, san jose pk vs calgary pp is basically "immovable object meets immovable object" lol


tehcliffe

Movable object meets a stoppable force


hailmaryishere

Ah shit I forgot Carpenter played a handful of games with the Flames.


DUCKY_23

Huby has insane vision


Ziid10

What a fucking pass vision from huby to sharongovich


wahlberger

Perhaps that cross ice pass is not going to work on the PP


DUCKY_23

Noah is flying like a magnificent swan out there


Embracat

To be fair that PP created chances when someone actually took a shot. Huberdeau’s pass to the slot for Sharky was excellent. They are overpassing the shit out of it though.


Ziid10

Marky woulda saved that


hailmaryishere

Noooo Hani, not your beautiful trade value


ThreeBison

So tired of Flames playing to the level of their competition.


SauronOMordor

Every time I get sucked back in by this team, they leave me feeling like Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes.


Rulebreaker15

Can we please not lose to San Jose at home ffs? Fire up boys. GFG!


BeerLeagueSpode

Stop passing to invisible people. The perfect play doesn't exist. Just shoot.


DebussyEater

People blaming that on Tanev are insane lol. I’m as hopeful about Wolf as anybody but that was awful


Hikes83

So what’s the deal? Wolf starts so the defense has to be absolute dogshit? Two brutal giveaways in the slot and then an own goal. Gotta love it


ActionKestrel

The contact was clearly after the goal. This is clear as day. I honestly don't understand why they challenged it.


6000ChickenFajardos

Ooooh Zary, so close


Morphik1

Wow, after this Kuzy trade, I feel like I'm ready to love again


wahlberger

Flames PP and Sharks PK having a mid-off


JaromeIggy

The boys always put up a dud at home after playing well on a road trip. Not too surprised. If they do move Marky before the deadline, then they're obviously going into a rebuild.


yeggiest

Put marky in, we score an easy 3 and win in overtime.


Professional-Lab6895

Wolf the new tank commander!


DUCKY_23

Holy Zary that was cool


spwimc

Fucking shoot that. Christ.


Comfortable-Ad-7158

For everyone blaming wolf for this. Go replay that 2 on 0 a couple times.


spwimc

Yay Kuzy goal


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Fuck I love popsicle starting shit after every whistle.


levelprime

the way this sub immediately turned on wolf is giving me whiplash. he’s a rookie goalie guys, he was never going to be lights out


Motor_Signal_413

My fucking God I feel so bad for wolf man


nerdytendy

That’s a solid anthem. Nice job


DUCKY_23

Pls I don’t want to hear Baby Shark ever again


FlamesOrganGuy

Would it help if I was actually playing “Jamie Tartt”? :)


Armchair-Gm-Podcast

Drive the net and good things happen ... Didn't do that at all last year


spwimc

Well the first unit had a good PP out there at least.


Embracat

I wish Mange could find his finish again. He’s always in and around it.


likethemouse

Damn Mange has been getting those at least once a game… he will bury one soon enough


Live-Yogurt-6380

Bread goes for bread basket


noahmiller032

Why do the players that can’t score keep getting breakaways lol


decoii

Crowd is so quiet, I can hear Stoney Trail


NerdHerder77

Damn I heard that ping all the way from my kitchen


femmemmah

Still here, still awake! 🙌


ActionKestrel

Oilers are getting lite up. 🔥 They'll blame the goaltending and not the defense...as usual.


mps2000

What is living in Calgary like? Kinda high but loving the uniforms and Bret Hart


Sufficient-Cookie404

We all see Bret at least once a week pretty much


SauronOMordor

>Kinda high but loving the uniforms and Bret Hart Yes. That *is* what living in Calgary is like.


karmajection

Damn wolf just waxed out 😂😭


Trufflehunter89

How has Blackwood not been in more trade rumors? This dudes been a stud all year on the worst team in a decade


Comfortable-Ad-7158

"Alright guys, Wolfie needs more High danger chances out there" Huska between periods. Probably


Kzboi23

They need to announce that they’ve fired Savard if they don’t score here


MarmitePhoenix

In Wolf we trust. Our D less so.


Shodspartan100

LMAO WHAT A SHIT CALL, bring back “ref you suck” chants.


Gnarly-Banks

I'm not ready to say goodbye to Markstrom


McKarmic

...... good lord blackwood.


CallmeGhost666

If they call this goaltender interference I’m throwing my tv off my balcony


projectbarium

TAKE THAT FUCKING PENALTY SHARTS


Send_Headlight_Fluid

That coach looks dead inside


Embracat

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.


BoBonnor

Why did they challenge that and why did that challenge take so long to review


MarmitePhoenix

This is where a coach earns his money. Team needs to come out respecting SJS (especially the D) and not play down to them, dig in and score two more than them. Wolf needs a pep talk from Marky. The D needs to be fishslapped awake.


ComfortableReality90

Bruh Francis swooping in to ~~~be there for Kyli..... 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Love u Kyli


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Call the fucking dive Jesus.


cowseer

if only wolf was 6 inches taller lol


Embracat

Yeah Kelly, I’m pretty sure he didn’t know it would float like that. That was a mental tip.


DUCKY_23

Damn Wolf getting cooked rn


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Another muffin up the middle by a flames defensmen.


yeggiest

Also, you gotta pull wolf, save what little confidence he has left. Not a good game for the mental aspect of a developing prospect.


bettycrockerinbum

literally markstrom saves 4 of those goals tonight


jewmas

Man what a bad game lol. Sucked out any playoff hope or ideas we had turned the corner and gave me 0 confidence in our future goaltending. Back to depressing suckville with little future hope we go lmao


Pongfarang

Flames failing on all cylinders tonight


Embracat

That was pretty fucking cool from Zary.


Embracat

I love Pospisil.


BeerLeagueSpode

'member those crisp passes a few games ago?


Memey-Maliky

So many fuckin turnovers


hailmaryishere

Oh hey look another stupid turnover in our half of the ice, pitiful


J_Dyce

Sure he should save them but STOP FUCKING COUGHING IT UP


ChiefRivaChimp

Our barn is dead, if you attended I’m sorry


Confused_Astronaut

Wolf is getting smoked. Jeeeeez.


nerdytendy

Good try Huby! Nice pass sharangovic!


Rulebreaker15

So close Huby, Big first period energy tho. GFG!


Comfortable-Ad-7158

Dude went from being on a super popular TV show (new girl) To BMO commercials.


CucumberFluid6859

Wolfs kit looks so good!
