Must be tough for coach Hartley to want to win and having to work with a GM like Feaster who seems to be out to lunch on what an NHL player should look like.
Sven Baertschi had an assist last night but he simply isn't NHL ready. He's like a broomstick on skates out there.
Chris Butler a -4, ouch. But when the whole team is a collective -21 that is some kind of ugly.
Matt Stajan had 2 goals so I guess that's a positive. And please, can we put to rest the illusion that some people here have that Backlund is better than Stajan? Not even close.
Saturday will be a very interesting and telling game in how the Flames come back and respond after this debacle.

Baertschi is NHL ready and Backlund would have a lot more points than Stajan if he had the same line mates and the same ice time. Stajan needs to be traded ASAP so that we can get one of our young guys up.
