  1. Be nice if they could get a .900sv% out of Markstrom once in a while. He’s been pretty bad since game 7 against Dallas.

  2. I hate watching the Flames lose. Losing sucks ass.

    Nice early season wake up call. Lets get back on the horse next game.

  3. Honestly, not the worst time for this to happen right now. Can’t get too high after the first 3 wins, those games still had periods where we were not playing well. Getting beaten by Buffalo is a good wakeup call and reminder to stay humble.

  4. Have to wonder if Markstrom is still feeling the effects of that illness or something else. He doesn’t look like himself. We really need hanifin and kylington back too, makes a huge difference to our back end

  5. These games happen. Learn and move on. Still started 3 and 0 for the first time since 2009.. with a brand new core. Gonna be a good season. Give er time.

  6. We sucked for pretty much the entire game, caught a break with the 2nd goal and came out flying in the third to almost tie it up. We then proceeded to point a gun at our own foot and emptied the entire clip. Terrible penalties: check. Terrible defense: check. Sloppy puck handling and passing: check and motherfucking check. You don’t win games where you can’t get out of you own way. Gotta shake this one off and move on, *especially* Markstrom. we need his Dallas series form, not his Edmonton one…

  7. As much as it sucks to watch a loss, tonight was the first time my daughter watched with me and took an interest in the game. Now she wants to meet Kadri and get his autograph. Softens it for me a bit.
