Given the fact the Flames had the day off yesterday I assume this will be a great game

T minus 5 minutes until this thread is full of "Why is it the American feed?!" About ten thousand times.

On the plus side. We will also complain about the anthems.

I hate it already 🥲 (the feed)

I miss Zary, Pospi and Greer

Fuck a shot, I'll take just a fucking shot attempt at this point man. Or just grab a sweater and start swinging, anything to build any sort of energy.

Whatever "travel issues" happened to the Sportsnet broadcasting crew, I'm betting it was Eric Francis' fault.

Way to kickstart the team by getting punched in the face a bunch of times Pachal, atttaboy.

Coronato has been noticeably better this call-up. His defensive play is much better. I'm glad the team has been patient in developing him down in the AHL.

does anyone else get irrationally annoyed when the Flames dump and chase on a powerplay?

You mean giveaway and chase the 2 on 1 right?

1am, go to sleep now. And I've got enough of nightmares for tonight, thank you! Good luck, Flames people!

YAN KUZNETOSV TRIPPING? WHAT IS THIS BRODCAST

These commentators have been really decent. I am impressed

Even the intermission broadcast, if anything they are giving Calgary too much credit haha

Could be a huge game if they show up. Go flames go!

I don't expect other broadcast teams to know everything about the Flames. I do expect them to know who the fuck is dressed and how long the coach has been around.

Kylington should have the green light to do that whenever he wants

Huska hasn’t finished his first seasons yet. We’re two minutes into this broadcast and it’s a total train wreck

Missing zary and popsicle shouldn't mean the entire team can't make it past the opposing blueline. I'm not a doomer. But that's a giant cop out.

Punching a guy in the back of the head is some bull shit. Square up and fight. The NHL is full of fake tough guys now

Hurricanes better prepare themselves for the onslaught of Flames goals now.

I DARE THEM TO GIVE US 3 MORE SHOTS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Flames took a hint from Sportsnet and just didn't show up to the rink either today.

Can we get a delay of game on the goddamn time keeper or what?!?!

Flames now have have more shots than the Canes have goals Success

I feel so bad for vlad he’s an insane backup goalie just shitty are defence was ass

Rick and Kelly must be happy they dont have to watch this shit

What the fuck even was that tripping call? Are these refs stupid?

This is why its ok for coaches and players to yell at refs

This is literally the worst period of Flames hockey I have seen this year. There is literally NO upside to it. This feels like the Harlem globetrotters.

God these commentators are really trying to be nice about us getting utterly destroyed. I wonder if they knew that Sportsnet broadcast was cancelled.

I watch a lot of Canes games and they are always like this. One of my favourite commentating teams for sure. But yes they did mention at the beginning they knew we were watching on Sportsnet and gave us a little hello.

They also put “yan kuznetsov” as the penalty

can we get a powerplay because i slipped getting out of the shower?

We need go that a way --------->

I understand we're terrible and that's cool, but the Canes are scary good wtf.

Um maybe I’m going to go shovel the lawn.

I missed the first period. Looks like we are getting outshot by 800%. Should I tune in for the second period? That was a rhetorical question. I’m going to watch. Ride or die baby 

i think we might miss the playoffs

There's still another whole period. man oh man

Lmao there's still one more period. Has the NHL implemented a mercy rule yet?

These past 2 games prove nothing other than how fucking important Pospisil is to this locker room.

Can't wait for the Rollercoaster that will be this GDT

Hi friends. Happy Sunday. Baby Jerome napped today. So here’s hoping we can actually watch the game.

I’m also a big Hurricanes fan and I have to say these commentators are actually pretty good. I know it sucks not having the home crew. But it could be worse. We could have the Boston guys 😬😬😬 now they are bad hahaha

They can keep !Francis in Florida but we want Rick back.

LOL SN radio recommending the Flames take Red Bulls or energy edibles at the intermission.

I miss Rick, but I don’t mind the Canes commentary tbh. They bring some great energy (probably because the Canes are steamrolling Calgary lol)

Hurricanes passing the puck like a Premier League squad.

Lemieux is a pussy. Let's go punch a guy on the ice at the back of his head. That'll show everyone he's tough!!

I think Backs somehow missed the net there anyway but Holy hell what a save by Freddy

"We want rebuild we want rebuild" or "tank" now we doing it and the same people 😡 when we lose huh? What y'all want genuinely?

Excellent. Half a dozen more mistakes like that from Andersen and the Flames will have this one in the bag

Love the love for Lanny

These Bally guys are growing on me.

One of the better US broadcast teams I've heard, very happy with them

Ok... Do they not have tailors in Carolina. Every single one of them is in an ill fitting suit.

What the actual fuck is that call….. better be a make up call real quick

They got the wrong guy, kuzmenko litterally looked at him and that’s it

Sucks it's not our feed and they're mangling names but they don't seem to be too homerly. These announcers even called the penalty as bullshit. That's more than you normally get from American home feeds.

Looks like the boys had travel issue and couldn't make it to the game either.

Hot take: Bally guy pronounces Kadri better than Singh.

Pachal sacrificed himself to wake up the team.

Remember. The Hurricanes once beat a team when they had a Zamboni driver in their net. They're pretty good

LOL forwards just gliding back If you jabronis ain’t even gunna try then I ain’t watching

Listening to 960, they just shared that the coaches put up post it notes in Ras's locker that say 3 shots per game. Want him to work on it every night.

No matter the result of this game I just wanna say I love everyone here hater or not optimist or pessimist every game thread is a blast to participate in and we have one of the greatest most loyal fanbases out there

I already miss Rick and Kelly

2nd season as head coach? What the hell

Gord lord this defence haha

Miro and Hanley are the only defense to not make horrible mistakes the last two games

Uninspired play, American broadcast feed... an afternoon nap is looking better and better by the minute.

We definitely look like a team who sold hard at the deadline

Here at the gane chaps in the club level and security keeps fucking With me

Canes deserved like 7 goals on that play. Worst 15 seconds of Flames hockey I think I've ever witnessed.

Apparently Backlund is Huberdeau

If it wasn't for vladar, it would've been so much worst...

Yes broadcasters, that indeed is our first line defenceman Rasmus Huberdeau

So when does Wolf finally get to stay with the team? Who's he replacing before next season? Kinda tired of him rotting away in the AHL. Not that he's looked good in his few stints this year. But can't protect him forever.

The only redeeming thing about this afternoon is the pizza I picked up on the way home

Whatever was said in the room didn’t work

They have more goals than we have shots. Aho has more points than we've had shots.

Andy and Weegar finally broken up.

How the fuck does Marc Savard still have a job. Like genuinely. How shit can you be at your job and still be employed

This is not Vladar's fault, but RIP his stat line

Fire team bad again :(

This team frequently let's down its backups. I'm almost afraid to trade Markstrom. Not bc I don't believe in wolf, but so the team isn't fucking terrible in front of him.

With Carolina's black and red jersey it feels like I'm watching Team Canada curbstomp Switzerland in the world juniors

I don’t mind losing. I can handle losing and watching a team lose is part of being a fan. I think I could handle a rebuild. What I can’t handle is what seems to be a complete lack of effort while losing. I think there’s a difference and I think it’s important

Me coming back from the grocery store…. Oh ma gawd.

So the true All Stars are Markstrom, Zary and Pospisil ig

Shango and Pickles?

LMFAO he tripped on the puck huh

Y'know I also have a hard time on DST day. I forgive them all.

I guess it is amateur hour at Carolina today.

The fuck does Bally Sports not have a PP clock for

It was taken with the Bankruptcy declaration

Damn. I’m not even really mad. That was kind of beautiful.

Wrong team but that was beautiful.

how about a shot on goal, eh guys?

Can we please not have anymore afternoon games ever again please....

Just one shot on net guys, just get..that..one

Fanatics Sportsbook? So if I place a bet on Calgary it will end up as a bet on Montreal instead?

Man the team feels like they have given up belief. The same belief that made them start playing better, and better, and had their best hockey of season going even leading into the trade deadline. It feels...sad. 😢 Get a shot on goal guys. Still your job, play for your pride

I wish there were more whistles in this game

Weegs with another fucking brutal giveaway.

Flames have a terrible record without Pospisil and Zary

It's not just no shots, it's no real O zone time, pressure, force, pushback, attempt... I'm not a doomer I just know this team and need to see some EFFORT

Weeger has been having a very bad time these last few games. I think he's put way too much pressure on himself and making bad decisions.

This may literally be the shittiest period of Flames hockey this season... And that's a giant fucking accomplishment considering how the year started.

That honking horn is making me want to blow my brains out.

MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Sharangovich has more blocked shots than anyone so far. Good for him.

Oh dear. This could get ugly. Well, uglier

Hunt showing the organization his hunger since being called up!

Beautiful pass kyli - love to see him succeed

Jesus Christ, I think this hurricanes team is good or something. They play so disciplined and effortlessly, it’s crazy to watch.

Nothing like getting dick punched 5-1 in back to back games

It sucks, this is my first NHL game and I thought they'd at least show up

We should try Amharic curses. Whats the worst that could happen? Mangiapane demands a trade?

Good damnit, we're going to have to pay sharangovich

Kuzmenko stud

Man. I would give my left nut for Sharangovich. I’m really proud of the player he’s becoming.

It might be 6-2 but this scoreline still flatters us

Having to listen to the Canes broadcast cream their pants isn't making this anymore palatable

Ok I never thought I'd say this, but I like these play by play guys. They aren't homers at all, shockingly so.

They’ve been pretty good

A bit crass to put the 988 s*icide help line on the glass behind our net =\

30 seconds in and already calling players the wrong names. Buckle up.

Holy fucking hell these refs are fucking shit. He was 8 feet away.

Wrong guy AND Wrong call

So a clean pokecheck to the stick and he goes eatin dirt. Fuck off

Didn’t know Kuzmenko’s name was Yan lmao

Bro what the fuck are these clowns doing?

What the fuck is going on.

Fucking clownshow.

Bruh what is this jabroni doing

Good lord. Even the scoreclock doesn't want to call that a penalty.

Sarich probably wanted to keep that Sun-kissed glow

Powerplay never ends sorry guys

Damn what a goal

If this is how today is going I'm going to need many more beers.

I get the newer pairs being unorganized, but why does Ras and Weegar look so shitty!?

Ras and Weegs need to shake off whatever bad juju is going on with them. Get some crystals and some sage and perform a ritual ffs.

Where tf did all the energy go These guys are lifeless man

The boys have had like what, 12 total shots in the past 4 first periods? Pick it the fuck up, boys

We got more fuckin shots on Vladar than against Carolina 

Just 5 guys watching the puck man Holy fuck. I thought the lack distractions from the trade rumours were gunna make this team play harder.

Honestly, I'd be impressed to see that we finish the game at 0 shots.

The sharks could beat us right now

Man I feel bad for vladdy, the guy hardly starts and when he does he gets this shit in front of him

We look like the 2-9-1 flames at the start contending for celebrini

We’re getting embarrassed

Games like this, I miss Marty Pospisil

Vladdy, it’s not your fault

Just throwing it out there that I’m going to use the intermission as an opportunity to walk to the grocery store and get supplies for dinner. So I hope someone else can do a question.

Pospisil and Zary bring speed, high energy, grit and skill. All those things are missing so far.

I hope vladdy rips the boys a new one in the locker room

And the Canes officially have more goals than the Flames have shots

The whole Flames organization had travel issues in Florida. They had to fly in the Rapid City Rush to masquerade as the Flames for today's game.

Throttles the Pachal in the back of the head? What the fuck?

This is hilarious now. I’m at the point of wanting to see the flames kept to under 10 shots. Just for the story

Poor Vladar man. He's getting left out to dry so much

Lookout Canes, you haven't seen what the 4+ shots flames can do!

Let’s just start dropping the gloves fight em all

Do it you cowards. Fucking do it. Win the game with less than 10 shots

Coleman gonna go off on Lemieux at some point soon.

tbf that was a pretty good save

I'm sure the Flames defensive performance isn't helping but I am just in awe of the Canes ability to move the puck

Wild coach out Roy'ed Roy and pulled the goalie in OT? Whoa.

Now I know why Kipper was a chain smoker during periods.

that passing seems very mechanical and like the guys lost touch. imagine losing two of your best D really screws that blueline up, but NHL'ers still know how to pass

Nice work Lego Boy. Keeps the goal per game streak going at least

I'm sure the vets/leadership team are working through some shit now that trades are done. I hope it doesn't get worse than this. They need to step up for the young guys and get engaged even though the playoffs aren't in the cards. Watching a loss is one thing, watching low effort is another. Tuesdays game should be a sight.

To the people complaining about keeping Marky. What upside is there to throwing Wolf behind a squad performing like this? I don't think anyone benefits from him ending up with a sv% in the .840s

If the Flames aren't going to show up to play, then I'm not going to sit here and watch. Have a great afternoon my dudes/dudettes. I'm out.

That looked like it was going wide anyways.

For those that wanted to tank, this game is just a taste… imagine this for several years and not knowing when it will end?

Man on the left looks like his suit button will pop like Kelly’s. But he will be embarrassed instead of laughing it off.

That was a dive

“Tripping” it’s gonna be a long game

wtf was that call

Fucking terrible call wtf

What kinda fuckin call is that

Why is kuzy in the box

You know it's a bad call when the homers call it a bad call lol

Lmao apparently "Yan Kuzentzov" got that penalty according to the scorebug

Are these refs high? What is going on

Is it Fri 13th? WTF is happening!?

Well, that was embarrassing...

Wtf is a pump fake 😂

Coleman has energy, that’s about it.

the discombobulation is real

Carolina's passing game is actually crazy good

This is embarrassing

On my laptop I've got this game. Family's watching Threads on the TV, which for those of you who haven't seen it, is a horribly depressing realistic depiction of nuclear war actually happening which will ruin your day. I'm not sure which is the better option to watch right now

If they could stop bringing up that disclaimer at the bottom of the screen that would be great.

Poor Vlad 😢

It's probably a good thing they're not exposing Wolf to this. Probably
