Calgary Flames

Flames fanbase conflicted in wake of Calgary win over Dallas Stars

There seems to be a clear divide between the ‘We can still make the playoffs’ crowd and the ‘We might as well lose the rest to get a shot at drafting Connor Bedard’ bunch.

A Tyler Toffoli goal with five seconds left to break a deadlock and lift the Calgary Flames to victory over the Dallas Stars, breaking a five-game winless slide …

Happiness for the C of Red, right?

Not so fast.

The exciting ending stoked some fans but not all. There seems to be a clear divide between the 'We can still make the playoffs' crowd and the 'We might as well lose the rest to get a shot at drafting Connor Bedard' bunch.

To which one do you belong?

Man I see alot of #Flames fans just giving up on the team and actually saying they’re disappointed that they won today? Brutal fan base

#Flames Post Game Thoughts

1. I wonder if that Toffoli goal can be something they rally around to finish the season

2. It was nice to finally have a game where things went the Flames way. Flames did a great job finishing. And also got some luck with some bounces for and against
