I know. Imagine having fired him 4-5 years ago.

Someone new chooses a new coach. Someone new determines what to do with Gaudreau and Tkachuk. Someone new decides not to trade Monahan to make space for Kadri.

If the rumours that Ownership meddled to bring in Sutter....who, lets not forget, won the Jack Adams, if those rumours are true that should have been the first and last time Sutter and Treliving met. As one was walking in and the other was walking out.

I wonder how long you guys intend to complain about it. Don't you get tired about whining about the same stuff that has all happened in the past?

Is this a bad time to point out just how excited most flames fans were when all these signings happened? I recall many experts and fans saying the Flames were better on paper than before. Sadly it didn’t work out but the moves themselves were good.

I still complain about moves they made in the 90s. Grudges hold no time limits!

Thats why they're grudges!

With lottery picks that can put you into the top 2 for this draft, this is a good TANK BOWL matchup.

I will hate Fatty Morris, Anders Eriksson and Scotiabank until the day I die.

Thats just how Grudges work.

People always get excited when someone goes all in, no matter how stupid it was

I think the limitation period is long.

I wonder are we oblivious or have other teams recently been decimated as badly as the Flames over such a short period. Two years ago certain pundits had us as bona fide Cup finalists.

I definitely wouldn't have said most. But I guess I'm just going by people I know.

Man if you think it’s crazy flames fans hold a grudge towards the GM from a few years ago you’re gonna lose your mind when you hear about 2004.

Conflicted, a top ten pick is a really possibility if we lose. And even a top 5 if we go on a winning drought.

So I hope for another game like last night. Solid effort with no finish and an L.

Just want to see more youth at this point. Zero reason Coronato should be sitting out any games for the rest of the season. Rotate Greer or Hunt out of the lineup instead.

At least we probably see Wolf in tonight so that’s good.

Dave Reierson was such a brutal pick. What was Fletcher thinking?

Last game of the year for me. Had the Oilers game as well but I’m out of town so the missus gets to take a different date.
