Lolcow (n) – A person or group of people laughed at for actions that they take, despite not trying to be funny. They may try to take themselves seriously, but they are often “milked” for laughs with or without their knowledge.
In the world of hockey, there is no team that perfectly epitomizes frustration and futility like the Calgary Flames. A team that boasts a great squad on paper, but is never able to translate it to a successful on-ice performance. However, if you look past this hair-pulling façade, you will see something more sinister with this organization. Look into the situation of strong-arming and passive-aggressiveness a city into investing in a state-of-the-art arena… when the arena they play in doesn’t need to be replaced. Hopefully this video teaches you… something.

Miika Kiprusoff was one of the best Finnish goalies, and they completely wasted him. That one especially bugs me
2:39 Adam. Fox. Lmao
Watching this as Calgary is about to win the cup
The Oak View Group privately funded and built UBS Arena on Long Island for the Islanders and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle for the Kraken. The Oak View Group needs to come to the rescue for Calgary because they still desperately need a new arena. The Saddledome is almost 40 years old.
Update: Ground has finally been broken on a new arena for the Flames. It is expected to be ready in 2027. Three years to go in the dump of the Saddledome.
Who’s watching after Edmonton literally handed them a playoff berth
Hockey really matters in Canada doesn’t it?
Man, they just got eliminated by Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Sad way to end a Pacific-winning season.
Who else is here after they lost to their big brothers from up north in the 2022 playoffs?
And now we have a Congrats Flames, yes I’m late IDC 🤷🏻♂️ ironic and full circle
Almost 4 years later and the title still holds true
May 2022: Congratulations, Flames fans. You survived OT in Game 7 against the Stars. You now get to take on your older siblings from Northern Alberta. A match-up 30 years in the making. Make us proud.
You win a wild Game 1 that saw a new record in goals scored during a Battle of Alberta playoff game. A record that stood the test of time for almost 40 years. Momentum is now on your side. All you have to do is take it.
They give up 4 straight to lose the series in 5 games. A pair of 2-0 leads blown and you insist on claiming that you were robbed by a goal being taken off the board? At least you scored a goal from behind your own blue line. With the other team's goalie in the net. That is about your only highlight from this series. Better luck next year.
Calgary makes a big splash by trading Matthew Tkachuk for Jonathon Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar. They pick up Nazem Kadri to replace Johnny Gaudreau, who left to be closer to his family and signs with, Columbus? Odd choice, but okay.
Well, this season has been disastrous compared to last season. Flames currently sit outside the playoffs and the floor is cracking underneath them. 6 points out with only 9 games left on the schedule. Markstrom hasn't been in the same form as he was when he was Vancouver's guy.
I'm a ducks fan and Hiller was trash for the flames in the second round 2015 and Smith was even more terrible in 2017 first round
Anyone else here after they lost gaudreau..
Now the have nothing, after this and losing to Edmonton in the playoffs, they have become the ultimate definition of the little brother complex. Poor littler brother, hope you don’t relocate since you have no new stadium planed.
This aged very well
as someone who couldn’t be paid to give a flying fuck about hockey… tree’s hockey content is top tier dawg 🔥🔥🔥
And now we have Johnathan Huberdeau
And what's their punishment? Losing Mark Giordano and Johnny Hockey for free and be forced by Matthew Tkachuk to trade him
2023: The Flames are eliminated from playoff contention.
Back at this video as the Flames bungle their way out of playoff contention. Gaudreau rightfully bounced out of this mess
ok darryl season on the line start Ritchie in the shootout
i think they got the new playstation now
Update they finally got their brand new stadium after reaching agreement with the province itself so they’re basically getting bailed out by Edmonton for them to get their new stadium so the entire province will be forced to pay for the new stadium and the stadium will cost more than the next Calgary is expected to be around 2.9billion Hopefully this does not turn out to be a disaster, and it destroys an entire city and an entire sports team and sets the economy in Alberta back by decades
I welcome the Houston Flames with open arms.
In the 5 seasons since then:
– Lost in the first round to the Avs when they were the heavy favourites
– Bill Peters turned out to be a massive racist
– Lost in the bubble
– Hired Darryl Sutter back off the farm
– Missed the playoffs in the Canadian division
– Had ownership walk away from the arena deal over a $15 million cost overrun
– Finally won a playoff series only to fail spectacularly against the Oilers when Markstrom turned into pumpkin
– Missed the playoffs as one of the unluckiest teams ever
– Turns out the players hate Sutter so he’s gone too
– Got an arena deal with $300 million in provincial money and $537 million from the city in an election ploy
And then Tkachuk made the Finals only for the goddamn Golden Knights to win it all, more than what the Flames did in 3 decades (35 years without winning, damn)
Edit: And now the Panthers and Tkachuk won a Cup and the Flames will build their arena, crazy, huh
Tree I always like you using SpongeBob ost and goldeneye ost.
I want the whiny Flames fans in the audience to know one thing: despite the puck crossing the line being disproven, y’all can’t complain. You didn’t show up in overtime or in the second overtime. You didn’t show up in game seven. You blew it. So sit down, shut up, and enjoy being a victim.
And now the entire province is on the hook for Calgary's new areas.
Wow, the stadium situation and the battle with the mayor sounds exactly like the A’s situation.
The puck was over the goal line!…..NOT! #NOGOAL!
The Matthew Tkachuk trade has officially blown up in Calgary's face
they wasted the greatest black players career
Thats just racisn
Perennial Underachiever Sam Bennett
Like foretold
this aged horribly
It’s been 6 years time for the flames to win the cup and make this video outdated
2:25 ohh, so THIS is why I got this video after the Canes vid 😂😂😂
THE PUCK WAS IN THE NET MAN!!!!
If it makes you feel any better, Calgary, we've won two more Cups since that one. Oh? What's that? That doesn't make you feel better? Oh well, see ya next time!
1:07 Boy has this certainly aged like a fine wine
1:07 you mean Conn Smythe trophy winner Sam Bennett?
1:08 *2025 Conn Smythe Winner Sam Bennett
That’s what u get when u get sewered w bad gms the entire 2000’s until now, Conroy is different
Safe to say this is my favorite UTree video of all time
Underachiever Sam Bennet. Aged like milk.
"Perennial underachiever Sam Bennett" aged like shit
Good news: Nenshi didn’t bend over and give the Flames a new arena
Bad news: The next mayor immediately did… and the next premier….
