Both the gm and the coach should have to answer why this team is a fringe bubble team despite throwing away first and second round picks to shape the roster.
All I kept thinking last night was why, other than the 3rd line, why were 90% of the flames breakouts out of their own zone made to a stationary, or a skating back towards their own zone, forward.
I frigin hate how we have dmen who can move the puck well, yet instead of quick transition once they win back the puck, they have to go deeper into their own zone, play d to d catch for a few minutes before looking up ice.
The team is quite boring to watch, as a result, especially when they lose.
As per the effort, it was embarrassing. Not because it happened but the fact that it feels like every other game at home we see the same thing over and over.
I hope the gm is restricted from making any trades this deadline. Not sure he has a handle on what he has on the roster or what coach is required to build a winner.
