Anyone else at the game hear the resounding sigh of disappointment when the buzzer went? I think season ticket holders are quite frustrated. Boring ass game so much so that you could hear the players yelling to each other on the ice. Really disappointing entertainment value on what I hoped would be a quality opportunity to light it up. At least my pocket dog was good, extra mustard is where it's at. Bright side.
Yup. I was expecting boos but I don't think the fans even have that in them right now. The Flames are a dull organization on every single level.

I just don't understand how a team with some of the best young players its had for years, including one of the most skilled players in the NHL in Gaudreau, can be so snooze inducing.

I've been restraining from giving Treliving too much criticism because he seems like a generally smart GM, but I can't stand the product the Flames have become, and he is the guy ultimately accountable for it. He chose the coaching staff, he made the roster moves. All adds up to completely average and uninteresting, not to mention unsuccessful.
