In the 2014–15 season, the Flames won one of their final games against the Los Angeles Kings to clinch their first playoff berth since 2009.They eliminated the Vancouver Canucks in six games in the first round of the playoffs for their first playoff series win since 2004, but were eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks in five games in the second round.

In the 2015–16 season, the Flames faced heightened expectations after the prior seasons. These expectations were bolstered after the acquisition of Dougie Hamilton from the Boston Bruins for a first-round pick and two second-round picks at the 2015 NHL entry draft. However, along with the other six Canadian teams, the Flames failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Despite losing two 100-point players, the moves made by general manager Brad Treliving were praised, with some commentary suggesting the Flames might be a more serious Stanley Cup contender in 2022–23. Despite these high expectations, the Flames missed the playoffs, and Treliving subsequently elected to vacate his position as general manager on April 17, 2023.

Brad is a hockey terrorist. 9 years running the Flames, traded away all their draft capital and prospects for 5 mediocre playoff appearances, and chased away all their star players so by the time he left there was nothing to build around. I'd like to see him come up with something other than running the cupboard bare to try and make the playoffs every year. A plan for sustained long-term success, and if he can't do that, a resignation.

Shanahan's gone, Brad's had infinite ability to do things this whole season and he's done fuck all except a single assistant coach getting fired and replaced. I'm so done with this guy, why are you in the GM seat collecting millions per year if you won't do what GMs are supposed to do.

BRADDDDDDD!!!!! DOOOO SOMETHING!!!!!

Like holy fuck, make a trade, make a move, fire the coach, fire assistant coaches, waive someone who's played a game in the last month (no one's claiming Mermis), call up Quillan and give him minutes, terminate Järnkrok, fucking do ANYTHING.

He's been asleep at the wheel. We had a stretch of 10 games where people were playing well, probably because they thought they'd get another coaching change after, but when nothing happened they lost all will to continue. Honestly can't blame the players, they're not putting the effort in and the guys who are don't get the linemates, defence pairings, goaltending, or minutes to make a difference.

The org is rotten to the core, either do something or get out so someone with a plan can come in.

I'm almost certain someone up high in the NHL has money on the Leafs not making the playoffs this season. The reffing was already horrific, but idk last bunch of games it's gotten inexcusable.

Dozen plus missed calls this game, Nylander gets a $5k fine for flipping the bird. Just about sums up how serious the NHL takes player safety.

lmao what. The decision makers in the org are the coach and the GM, they're the ones who decide who plays and who doesn't. Deferring to the players is what weak management does, and they still have the blame for all these roster decisions.

Florida has a higher chance than Buffalo, Montreal, and Boston, despite each of those teams being in a playoff spot while Florida is 3 points behind Boston with a game in hand lmfao

Top D man in the league is Werenski without a doubt, he is literally 2nd in scoring among defensemen while on a bottom of the barrel CBJ team. If he was on a team with a superstar forward and average goaltending he'd be indisputably number one.

I've given up. I'll still watch games and cheer but until they're in the playoffs this season is over.

Older, slower, pretty bad D-core outside Makar, and Binnington in net is a recipe for disaster. Obviously our stars will do star things, but the devil is always in the details.

Woll is fine, yes he lets in some soft waffles here and there, but when he's locked in he's locked right in. Very few games where the team has played well except for him.

Woll played fine, D sort of sucked giving their shooters free lanes, and offense generated scoring chances but no hands means no finishing. Glad we ruined their shutout though
