[PGT] Flames lose 4-1 to Winnipeg; lose Ryan to injury

[Scary Eloranta]

I will watch the first few mins Sat night just to see Blasty but you just know they're gonna get blown out since it's first home game after a road trip.

I'm not looking forward to getting clowned by Edmonton on Saturday...

The team better show up or it's going to be an embarrassment.

The problem is clear the Flames offense is not good enough.

Hard to say if it's the players or the coach, but for whatever reason they are not taking the puck to the middle of the ice. Not on the rush, not off the cycle, not in hope and a prayer passes looking for a garbage goal.

The result is a team that is toothless. They play keep away until a pass gets interrupted or lost in the dirty areas. A team completely without aggression this game.

If it is then at least we can all take the year off from this annual misery

[Monahammer]

I'm going to stop watching for a few games. Just feels like a waste of time.

[Roof-Daddy]

Lol this team excels at mediocrity.

Makes sense...it's a double rum kind of night.

Was there ever a window though? More like a mail slot?

Lol he got knocked over one time by a guy who is 6'8

He is useless but he was not dominated physically

Forward depth?

Their top end Fs were awful.

I think I've found Tre's next candidate for the HC job.

going to be an interesting week if Ryan is out long term. combined with the Bennett trade looming over the team, suddenly that C depth has dried right up.

It's almost as if once incredibly responsible players are losing their way and not caring any more, on top of people now wanting out of the dressing room. But that couldn't be anything to do with a coach, nah...

I noticed that tonight as well, he got knocked over and knocked off of pucks..... oh and of course passed it to a jets player behind the net while we were on the "powerplay"

Saturday is my scotch night. I feel like win or lose, I foresee a bottle getting drained.

[Saint Troy]

Ridiculous puck management and turnovers from their so called top players continue to kill this team. Giordano is as guilty as anyone, and Tkachuk has been a fool in his own zone.

[Makarov]

Le sigh.

[Burning Beard]

Bring in a mean coach for the rest of the short season. This core played good for Peter's for about 60 games and that's what we have left including the playoffs.

After the season shaken up the core big time.
