Pitiful game. Glad I tuned out after the 2nd goal against, sounds like l didn't miss much.
Team is a seller at the deadline. I don't care if they by some miracle manage to claw back to 1st. They will lose it as soon as they get it, like they have done multiple times this season. BT can't be fooled thinking they have turned the corner. This isn't a 1st place team. It's an inconsistent bunch that need a shake up.
While I think there are better coaches out there then Ward, I don't see coaching as the problem. This is 100% on the players. They got rid of hardass Peters and finally got the nice guy they wanted. But the players managed to screw that up. IMO hard ass coaches are almost always the way to go, hurt feelings be damned.
I thought Lucic had a good bounce back game. Was physical all night and beat the false Goodrow down (even held back like a gentleman). Didn't see the last period of the game so can't comment on how it went afterwards.
Team is no good to do anything good. I'm a huge BT fan and think he's the guy to right the ship. But I will be off that bandwagon should he fail to sell at the deadline, even if they are in a playoff spot. Even if they somehow make it, they are going to get their ass beat. Sell what needs to be sold and start re-tuning for the future.
Great chance to make up ground when all the other pacific teams lost, and they put up a stinker to a bottom feeder. Typical Flames game. Sucks about Gio and his injury.
