Well that was unfortunate.
I can't remember the last time I've turned off a game when it was 3-2 heading into the third period. This team doesn't have a third period comeback ALL YEAR - if you can't come back from one goal down in the third period I'm sorry but that's just a bad team. Really wish we sold some assets at those crazy prizes we saw at the deadline and had the draft to look forward to, stock up on some potential elite talent in the first round.
Punting these decisions to next TDL was considered a great idea by Pat and the 960 guys because they want to give this team another chance to see what they have... (Exactly the kind of logic the Flames have used to stay mediocre for so long) But the 2023 draft is where you want to have those extra 1st/2nd's rounders.. it also moves up the timeline for this team to be competitive by a whole extra year by getting those players drafted this summer instead of next.
I'm sure they'll learn their lesson this time next year and start to tear it down well past the sell-by date and then sell us the idea like it's some stroke of genius. Man I'm just apathetic at this point sorry lol can't wait for this season to end. I want to see changes so bad. As others have said, nothing worth getting excited about with this current team, god bless Tyler Toffoli he's had a great season but he's our top point getter this year? Oof. Burn it.
