Oilers 7, Flames 1: Falling down the stairs, but hockey

“This is the sound that comes up in my head when I think about a fail. Like the Mets losing a ballgame to the Phillies 10-0.”

On Feb. 18, 2010, YouTube user DK1536 wrote that description to accompany this video.

Both the Mets and Phillies finished well outside the playoff picture in the NL East last season, but that’s okay. It is no longer necessary to reference New York’s third-favourite baseball team to properly illustrate the implications of “Price is right losing horn.”

On a day where the NHL managed to mess up an outdoor game by failing to account for the possibility of a “sun issue,” the Calgary Flames somehow put forth an even worse performance.
