When the #flames and #NYR met back in 2021, under a chorus of boo's, Adam Fox scored this beauty goal and gave the crowd the old "I can't hear you" treatment afterwards. The goal would Immediately be called back for offside. The Flames would then go on to torch the Rangers 6-0. Possibly one of the most embarrassing things that can ever happen to an athlete in a game like this. Do you think he'll be booed just as hard today as he was in 2021 after the recent atmospheres towards Hellebuyck and Tkachuk?

If what Connor Hellebuyck is saying about death threats and everything else is true, something doesn't add up. Why would his closest teammates and friends feel hurt or betrayed by his departure? Wouldn't they understand his decision better than anyone? And wouldn't threats that serious warrant police involvement? There's a disconnect between his version of events and the reaction of those closest to him.

Didn't we hear last week or something that his skating was still nowhere near where it needed to be for a return?
Coming soon to a NHL rink near you. #HubyDubyDoo

Why would you wait that long to tell the team there were more incidents than what you originally stated? Surely if he really believed there were multiple incidents of the family fearing for their safety, the police would've been notified. This all just sounds like another excuse to justify supporting the administration that has actively threatened our country's sovereignty and security for the last two years, and he doesn't want to be held accountable for his choices.
Follow up: Multiple sources say Connor Hellebuyck did not notify the Winnipeg Jets (or Winnipeg Police) last season of any fan behavior "more than just online death threats." Hellebuyck did notify #nhljets that him and/or his family were targeted online on the night of State of the Union and appropriate action was taken. But sources said Hellebuyck did not apprise #GoJetsGo of any additional alleged actions, threats, vandalism or fan behavior that "crossed the line" until late in the summer with training camp approaching.

Some very interesting construction shots of Scotia Place released by the city today! We're finally getting closer to seeing what our new home will look like come opening day next season. It looks like progress on the main bowl is coming along fantastically. With the keys to the new arena getting closer to handoff each day, how are we feeling #flames fans?

Absolutely wild stat that @Trevor_Neufeld has just made me aware of: Over the last 28 days, the #flames have a record of 8-4-1, have recorded one less point than the #oilers , and one more point than the #vgk #GoAvsGo & #GoBolts Absolutely wild considering there is no out and out "star" on the flames. Though Joel Farabee makes a compelling case: He produced 7G 8A for 15 points over that time. He leads all flames skaters with 17P in 18GP (Stat taken before tonight's final scores) 📸: @NHLFlames

Kyper hit the nail on the head. NJ and Hellebuyck think we're all stupid. There's no other way to spin it that makes that press release look good

This is the mindset i've taken after the first month or so of the season. If we were in this situation off the back of aging vets and playing the kids minimal minutes AGAIN I probably wouldn't be watching #flames
On one hand, perhaps it would be "best" if the #Flames lost a ton. On the other hand, they're winning games in no small part because their younger players are becoming key pieces and making big plays at big times. (And the 2027 draft class isn't considered to be spectacular...)

Such a feel good night for the #flames - Cooley keeping the boys in it - Parekh doing inZAYNE things again - Whiteclouds first goal as a Flame - Matty C keeps it rolling - Points from 10 different flames players This team is getting fun to watch again! #nhl #hocky #calgary #letsgoflyers

Flames Defence when defending❌ Flames defence when attacking✅ The D men have provided the offence, but a lot has been left out there defensively Cooley had really kept them in this one. 3-2 Flyers. #Flames PowerPlay Upcoming

Numbers are right here, Jackass. Have been for 18 hours now . But we all know you won't read them. I've genuinely never seen anyone deny reality so blatantly. I'll enjoy living in your head rent free on your silly little list that you felt so strongly about me to put me on
Replying to @sdckg
Be honest, have you actually watched any of the games, or are you only looking at the numbers? Even if you are only looking at the numbers. those first 5 games really impacted his stats and was a reflection of the whole team, not just him. Even then, he still has an LDSV% of .975 through october, making only 2-3 of the 27 goals against in October directly his fault. His advanced stats over the last 5 games tell a completely different story SV% .906 GAA 2.4 GSAx +2.0 HDGSAx +1.8 HDSV% .824 ISSV% .850 Your whole original point of "he sucks" just isn't true and all of the numbers back it up. He had a shitty start to the season and that 5 game stretch is an outlier in his whole pro career. There's no denying Cooley has been better this year, but that's a reflection of how much his game has improved since joining the flames

FUCK #flames
Kevin Bahl is done for the season. Ruptured Achilles. That’s a huge loss on the back end. #Flames
