This crap, and it is total ####ing crap, of the stretch pass to no one moving is horrible hockey. The never ending stream of drop passes that are supposed to act as misdirection and allow for easy entry into the zone is horrible hockey. The opposition teams have used their professional scouting and had Hartley's master plan figured out after 20 games. It's time to adjust. Hartley has proven incapable of coming up with anything fresh or willing to implement systems that might really work in the NHL. Time for him to go. Ftorek can mind the shop until the end of the season.

Burke needs to get his head out of his ass and realize this is 2014, not 2004. His truculence garbage is over done. I was happy when he dumped a useless Jackman on an unsuspecting Anaheim for a 4th round pick. I was pissed when he turned that 4th round pick into an even more useless Westgarth. I mean, WTF? I've seen some useless hockey players in a Calgary Flames uniform, some of which have been embarrassing, but Westgarth is the bottom of the barrel. No, he's the slime living on the bottom of the barrel. He is an embarrassment to the Flaming C and should never have been traded for. I don't mind the losses, but lose with players that have potential to get better. Westgarth is a rodeo clown.

I've been a fan of this team since 1980 and was looking forward to an honest rebuild. That meant bringing in young players and giving them their chance to play and bring that youthful enthusiasm to the games. So far we have seen very little of that. It's the same tired crap of watching the same tired has-beens or never-will-bes. I can't handle another game of Stajan, Cammalleri, Jones, Galiardi, Butler, and Westgarth. Give me some freakin' youth and promise to watch. The loses I can handle, but the bad play from the same bad players has become too much to handle. It's embarrassing and a lot worse than anything the Oiler fans have ever had to go through.

He's not from Europe so please don't blame us for his coaching

Apart from that I agree with everything you said.
