My guys are scuffling badly...unable to cover anyone in the low slot, unable to break the puck out...unable to keep teams from scoring in the first two minutes.

Saad has been hot, lately, in individual efforts.

Don't be surprised to see Kane double shifting...when he is with the FOURTH line, that plays the most direct game, that line actually is a threat, be it with Kruger/Anisimov or Kruger/Martinsen. Also, Kane plays EVERY minute of the PP, and on every shift post PK.

Our special teams, BTW, SUUUUUUCKKKKK! Last in PP and 29th (I think) on PK. PK stinks because of AHL quality D-Men.

Seabrook looks like he is at the end...cement for skates, whiffs a lot of clears, makes bad decisions. Also Kunitz has nothing left, if he dresses.

Toews/Saad have been ok. Kane/Strome/Debrincat can generate opportunities FOR BOTH TEAMS (can't defend a lick).

Gustafsson is dangerous, again, for BOTH squads...gives up as much as he creates.

Our goaltending is wearing out, because they are often being bombarded by uncovered guys.

I am not expecting much, except a house cleaning of Bowman (of the wretched contracts) and Colliton, who seems tossed into the deep end.

BTW...I was irritated with Q's firing...until a 6 game West coast road trip, with Kane either playing sick or being scratched, Q had dragged the team along in a playoff spot.

Good luck to you Flames' fans...I will be around the game thread to take abuse.
