If you want to come up to Atascocita we'll have more than enough food Just bring booze. Any Canadian rye will get you leftovers to take home.

Sounds more than delicious! Next year I might take you up on it, including bringing some Canadian rye from Spec’s. We’re traveling over Thanksgiving and now I feel a little home sick ☹️. That sounds a lot like previous Turkey days, but the fudge is a new wrinkle that sounds so good!

There it is. Turning point of the season Johnny smiling

[drewtastic]

How do you harness the tenacity and give-a-#### that is David Rittich?!?

However you do it, would somebody synthesize it and inject it into the rest of the team? This man deserves SO much better this season...

I think it'd be more likely to cause a rebound in the slot if nothing else.

He has done the wrap around before, plenty. Now it’s like he has no confidence with the puck to try it. Or scared of the inevitable contact.

Jeezus how many giveaways can they get away with?

[timbit]

Hanifin needs to put some zip on his passes.

He's avoiding the contact too much to try that.

The short side shot is as much getting rid of the puck before going into the corner as it is looking for a chance to score.

[Manhattanboy]

Oy vey Flames. Come on! Basic hockey.

[OldSam]

Thank god for BSD. Who knows what the score would be without him.

[BrennyBaller]

Hanifin has been brutal the past month or so. After starting the season great.

[DropIt]

I'd like the short side shot alot more if he could hit the pads and get a rebound into the slot.

[soulchoice]

Brutal giveaway by Hanafin.

Who was the defensive coach last year? Wasnt Huska was it?

[Dragomir]

BSD and Tkachuk are the only players separating us from being a bottom feeder.

Most of the team looks quite tentative and lacking in confidence this year. Probably main reason they're struggling so much.

Looking for a new coach to blame?

[burn_this_city]

That would have been a beauty

[Manhattanboy]

Backlund lucky that was offside. Standing around.

Possibly. I cannot recall if this was Huskas first year or not and perhaps the only notable difference this year has been in the Flames end. Or more notably, breaking out and 1st passes.

And I havent been blaming ANY coaches this year. Not at all. As far as I am concerned their struggles are all on the players.

But I'm also curious if that's the one thing that changed that may be giving them trouble as well.

Top line is completely broken.
