Didn’t watch the game, but this is what we know. Flames scored 5 goals in four minutes in the first and then took the pedal off the gas to loose by one in overtime. Six unanswered goals, a huge discrepancy in shots against yet again, big name players unwilling to play the system, and a lack of desire to win games.
Best of luck, if there’s not change a monster shake up is coming rest assured. No time to rest either, Columbus tomorrow.
Iginla can help the team on the ice and not by fighting. Enough already. We get it, you can pick up people with one arm. No need to prove it anymore.

Hope nobody bought PPV to watch this debacle. The worst embarassment in franchise history.
You have that right Cindy. To lose this game after scoring 5 goals makes the Flames the laughing stock of the NHL at this time.
As Sutter said post-game…”It’s a lack between the ears”.
I am sooo disgusted with this team so far this year. So much hype around this team, yet so much of nothing. We were lucky to have been 4-0. This team needs to turn this around quickly, as Flames fan I’m embarrassed, disgusted, and plain fed up.
I’m upset too Flaming Moe, but you have to give them some credit. An example, the come-back win against Edmonton, and of the first 4 games, most of them worked hard.
This loss goes down to too many brain farts, by too many players.
I’ve ragged on Dion enough now, although he is still pulling poopers out of his bag, I’d like to know why we are the highest scored on team with all the new DOMINANT? defence.
You and me both Del, it is soo embarrassing as a Flame fan when we have spoken defence all summer and picked up the cream of the crop when it came to free agent defencemen and 5 games into the year we are the most scored on team in the league. To be honest I’m at a loss for words. I agree with Barry Flames that if things don’t change soon, there will be a major shakeup. Let’s hope they can win tonight Del :)
They are either going to rip Columbus apart or completley go into the tank. Let’s hope it’s the former
Agreed on all accounts. The offence i where we expect, low, and the defense, the most expensive in the league, is garbage. Good news, only six games in folks. Jarome can help the cause by staying out of the box with fights. We could use him for 5 minutes on the ice no in the box.

Well, a lot of hard work, but this is not an elite team, at least not yet.
Another team makes Calgary look like an 8th place club.
Go home and practice your passing out of your own end guys.
I am not sure what it is, and figured that the Flames would finally be a great defensive team this season. Also, after being tied at 5, I was hoping that the Flames would wake up and win in OT or shoot out. Notwithstanding the consequences, something seems amiss and it remains a mystery.
– player miscommunication? May be, because if one player get the opportunity to take the puck in the offensive zone, none one accompanies him.
– defense missing? No aggressive forechecks, maybe big hits but that is not enough. No one seems to be taking their men.
– Discouraged about trades? Perhaps, but only Sutter can solve this problem. The game plan has remained intact every since and it is very disconcerting. Come on, folks, We know you can do it, boys and only want you to outsmart your opponents. Go Flames Got!!!!
This review is embarassing… You didn’t even watch the game? lol
