I think that week off only 3 games in with no training camp set this team back. This is a huge game today. A win gets them back to .500 which isn't a disaster.

Not going to lie, the re emergence of the inconsistent play of the last several years has me concerned about our character. Not panicked but concerned.
If you score, score , if you check, check, if you bang bodies bang franking bodies!
If we take a big duece again today I hope we see some new guys in the press box next game.

Just about every team in the league is inconsistent. Even when the Flames won the West, they were inconsistent. "We need to learn how to play a full 60" is far and away the most used phrase around the league. The Leafs are first and still don't know how to play a full 60.

60 ?

It is a miracle if the Leafs play an entire period consistently.

Unfortunately, you guys are in tough again tonight.

Its 6 games in so again too early to right them off.
That said inconsistency as been the problem under this core for 5 years now and excuses will not be acceptable this year. You rarely see good teams lose 3-4 in a row and that has happened far too often the last several seasons in Calgary. Time to step up and make a statement tonight!

Which core hasn't had inconsistency issues over the past 5 years? Tampa, Boston, maybe Vegas, maybe Edmonton.

Not really sure why you would object to this point but pretty much every season the teams with the top 5 records would have very few if any 3+ game losing streaks. You can look it up if you have time... I dont.

I guess you've already forgotten that Calgary was one of those top teams two years ago. That was also the year the two best teams lost four in a row in the first round and the Stanley Cup winner was dead last in January.

Your point is meaningless since every team has consistency issues and it's pretty much impossible to fix. It'd be great if the Flames could be more consistent, but it's not a Flames issue. It's a sports issue.

How deep into the playoffs did Calgary make it?

They need to start the tank soon or they won't catch Ottawa

FFS dude with a little puck luck the Flames would’ve won 2 out of the last 3 so have a shot of Jack Daniels and relax.

If you need luck to win you're in pretty bad company.

Who the (frank) are you donkey (frank)er, you obviously didn’t watch any of the last 3 games. I take it you're a Habs fan if you are trolling on the blog today.

Not a very old member of you don't member.....

I just love watching abject failure, the leafs and Oilers aren't any fun anymore and there's to much action with the Canucks, so, I'm all yours sweetheart.

I assume you're talking to the donkey fracker who posted above.

Enjoy the game, hopefully the shot clock will be better then 3 to 1 by the end of the game.
