Glad I accidentally saw the final score and skipped this game. With a classless ending to boot, good god. I'm going to go against the grain here and say that while many people have been praising Andersson's progression in the past, I have never seen the top pairing potential many others had. Top 4, sure at his peak. But IMO he doesn't have it in him to take that big step to anchoring an entire D. He's been one of the weak links all season and one of the big reason for this team's massive decline this season. Not just saying that because we lost this game; he has legit been terrible all season.

And next time someone copies and pastes some spreadsheet showing how Sean Monahan is some kind of #1C because of whatever x=y stat, they are getting a big stern finger wagging. Dude has never had an extra gear, never will, and it's getting real old waiting for him to turn into something he'll never be. Don't care if he's leading his draft class in goals. He's no good at almost everything else, even when trying to evolve his game. Trade him while he still has value. Seems like he's already checked himself out the door along with most of the top 6.

Disappointing season from the leadership group. The decline of literally every single top player on this team is remarkable and frustrating, yet so typical 'Flames'. At least Gio has an excuse. But Tkachuk, Monahan, Gaudreau, Andersson. All core pieces that have each taken massive steps backward.

Sutter really and truly does have his work cut out with this group. I feel bad for the ownership group because they finally did the right thing and went out and got one of the top coaches in the game. They re-invigorated a frustrated fanbase and bought a lot of goodwill going into next season when fans should be allowed back. Only to watch this dumpster of a core #### the bed again and ruin everything.

go flames go lol
