Around The League 24/25. Parity, blessed parity.

[Drivesaitl]

Last meaningless home game of the season in Calgary of course goes to trivial OT, then probably a shootout. Like theres even any point to it.

I can't imagine even being at a game like that. Does remind me of the 90's though.

Guess they figured the OOT scoreboard was gonna go better. lol. I don't really have the Blues. haha

 

[Soundwave]

Wish we could’ve gotten Saad

He took one look at the way Jeff Skinner was being treated by Knob and said "nope".

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Celebrate that post-elimination win, Flames.

 

[Cloned]

lol, they realize they were eliminated already right?

But keep celebrating like it’s Game 7 OT.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

This game shows how theres different expectations for the Oilers and Flames.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

lol, they realize they were eliminated already right?

Most of the Flames fans there probably dont even know what a trade deadline is.

So I would say no.

They’re a little slow in that part of the province.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Classic flames

The players too though.

Wolf cellied that like Binnington cellied the Four Nations win, lmao.

I dodged that virus and started cheering for the Oilers.

 

[Cloned]

Also Montreal is gonna choke away a playoff spot probably.

Elimination Night is here! The NHL's best losers (14 Bettman Points) bringing schadenfruede happiness to so many.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Unpopular opinion but I’m gonna say it anyways, Wolf caused the Flames to way-overachieve this season when on paper they looked like a 75-80 point team. He’s going to be a star goalie I think, I just hope he puts his patriotism ahead of loyalty and bolts for the US because I anticipate Calgary making the playoffs next year with them just missing by 1-3 points this year.

 

[Morpheus]

And mathematically eliminated

Nah, except the carrying and bolting part.

Looks like teams were starting to realize that he's as small as he looks in net as well.

Takes a year for teams to scout goalies. Just look at Silovs

 

[McDoused]

Happy flames elimination day everyone.

Enjoy picking 16th overall, I'm sure their will be a plethora of 1Cs available at that spot.

Oh wait, nevermind that pick is off to Montreal for dumping Sean Monahan.

 

[Spawn]

How the hell is Rasmus Andersen -38 lol

This game shows how theres different expectations for the Oilers and Flames.

After the Oilers humiliated the favored flames in the second round a few years back, Francis was just about in tears, bursting with pride over the Flames 'one and done' accomplishment. There are zero expectations with that team. If they make the playoffs every 5 years, the fans are ecstatic. As long as they work hard fans are happy. Scary part is for most of their games this year the Flames were the harder working team and had the better goaltending, and they still didn't even make the playoffs. The hard work slowly dies off when marginally talented players realize that the team will never be any good, and little Wolfie had a season to remember, but you could see during the stretch run that shooters had begun to figure him out, and he had a SP less than .900 in 8 of his last 14 games.

 

[yukoner88]

lol...9th place Flames as per usual

soooo close LMAO

as least we wont see them tank for McKenna next year

With the way the Canucks are trending, he might have the misfortunes of winding up there. Which is almost as revolting

 

[brentashton]

Eric Francis calling the season a great success is hilarious. Only the Flames can be eliminated and finish in 17th place and that be considered a success.

That said the tried really really hard all year.

Lol

Edmonton. - City of champions

Calgary -



We tried and failed.

Again.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Look at those goons from LA resting a bunch of players to play their B squad against Seattle and taking the last 4 penalties like they are trying to hurt guys.

That is true as well, time will tell I suppose. I didn’t watch much hockey at all this season so I’ll just enjoy their elimination right now and worry about next season, next season.
