- Brodie wasn't anticipating a pass. Smith wasn't anticipating a shot. Neither is to blame.
- Frolik made a stupid play. Period. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Fan 960 is missing the mark this morning mocking people upset at Dave Cameron. The Flames need a change but its becoming pretty clear that nothing will be done until after its too late, at the end of the season.

This team has no draft picks to trade and few young assets other teams are interested. There's not many changes they can make to personnel that aren't going to hurt the team more in the long run. It's too late I the season to fire coaches. This is the team and situation the GM built and he's going to have to ride it to the end of the season and deal with the aftermath. A few of us here have been saying for years how badly this team needed a top line RW and the GM has done nothing about it and it's coming back to haunt this team as it's simply a team that lacks finish. Defense was not the biggest need on this team yet the GM gives up all these futures for Hamonic and it's done nothing to improve the team as they are in the same situation they were in last year. Treliving isn't Chiarelli bad but he's made too many bad moves that have offset his equally good moves and it's led to a team that's no longer improving and just treading water.
