Anyway, what is truly pathetic for this team is not being shut out three times in four games.

I love what Paul Byron is doing right now, but when he's the only skater looking to make a difference, this is what happens.
LOFT isn't the main reason for this funk so much as lack of frigging desire.
Also, it would help if the officials would stop screwing us around. There was no cause to blow the play dead for that skate blade issue. Play does not stop for reasons of a need to adjust equipment. And we'll never know what would have happened had that play been properly allowed to continue.
Also, not surprised that wannabe Oiler fans have jumped out of the woodwork wanting to finish last.

Ever since the refs waved off the goal against the Oilers, the offense has all but disappeared. The Flames don't need any help losing but the refs have really taken it to them through this stretch.
The Flames really can't play an offensive style while keeping their defense sound. Brent Sutter couldn't do it, Hartley can't do it, Keenan couldn't do it either.
Blow it up? Core is rotten? Maybe Giordano is a bad captain and telling the team not to score?
