The sun don’t shine on the same dog’s ass all the time
Got what we deserved sloppy all night
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.
Sabres too fast for us today. However Markstrom needs to find his game.
I hate watching the Flames lose. Losing sucks ass.
Nice early season wake up call. Lets get back on the horse next game.
Games done, onto the next one! Can’t win em all, but we can still go for 81 😉
Tuch 1st Star ⚔️
Respect Sabres; looking forward to the next one
If Big Z doesn’t take that penalty I think we win. Killed our momentum
Kadri has been far more impressive than Huberdeau, hope that changes soon
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.
Fire team bad tonight
Is ok Flames. I still like you
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
I told myself I would care less this season. I’m still fucking cranky.
Tough game 😛
Just shows how important Hanifin is to us
Welp, time to burn it all down and sell the farm I suppose /s
Even though Zad dawg got a goal, he didn’t have a great game. On to the next.
81-1
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.
Sloppy first half. Gotta start on time when the Canes come to town.
Kadri is our best player right now. Constant hustle. I love the way he plays
Hope I never see any “trade Hanifin for a winger” nonsense ever again after that.
Why is hubby only getting 16 min a game??
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…
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.
Glad I forgot to rub in the Buffalo loss to my Edmonton fan coworkers
