It's so sad watching LA, because that's the exact type of team I want ours to be. Big, fast , skilled and will outwork any team for a puck. They aren't even the most skilled team, but the way they use their size and speed more than makes up for any lack in skill.
For a scoring champion or "the king of breaking the net" in Russia, I expected Cervenka to have a much better release and/or instincts. He's a awful skater sure but I expected more of a Robitaille style, getting into open space and a quick release.
They obviously didn't scout him well enough.

After watching the dreaded California gauntlet, I owe a few posters an apology.
Beers, Walken, & Tinordi might post the same tiresome crap, but they aren't wrong. I'm going to end up donating $20 to CP because the Flames just can't get it done. It sucks, but I am also willing to admit I was wrong. Brent Sutter drove individual player value down, but Hartley can't do much better. Time to try and move Bouwmeester/Stajan, or even Giordano (before his value goes to 0)
Flash said it best, Hartley's PK and defense make Keenan's look like a lockdown system. The team just can't get any mojo. Sven is back in the minors (reminds me of Backlund) and the team is still trying to win.
I'm at the point where they need to consistently win or lose as well. Enough 9th places. If they can't unload Iginla, it's not the end of the world either. Just don't re-sign him. He's not going to change the fact that the Flames can't develop any of their 1st round picks.
Just a trainwreck, and it sucks even more watching a Darryl Sutter coached team pound on Calgary.
I really hope they figure #### out soon. Moon, you actually cheer when the team scores goals, but I'm also sorry for calling out your trolling.
I don't know how Oilers fans have tolerated this crap for so long either..... :sad:

I wonder if Hudler and Wideman are regretting signing here.
I will say this... They're the furthest things from the problem on this team, which says a lot. And I'm sure a 26 million deal the weekend you get married makes a few losses easier to handle.
