Oh good. Finally we get to take a look at Leon Draisaitl...

Haha. True. Keeping it mediocre IS what they do best!

I’m old enough to remember Sutter lining up an all goon line who immediately dropped the gloves with their faceoff partners. He had to line up a D as a forward to do it.

He got fined of course.

So like everyone here?

[ComixZone]

Yep.

Geoff Ward burned out his starting goalie because he’s a dumbass coach who can’t get his team to play event halfway decent hockey.

[Aarongavey]

4 dmen in the top 72 paid dmen in the NHL and this team is bad a defence.

I know he is having a bad night but Hanifin is the 60th highest paid dman in the league, hard to think he would be considered a top 2 dman in the league. In order for these great RFA contracts to actually be great at some point you need one of them to outperform their contract, you need a guy like Hanifin to play like the 30th best dman in the league, not the 87th best dman.

[Badgers Nose]

Ward should play all d men on the next PP.

Might be his last chance to get an FU in

Well no, if you were more observant you'd see we can keep it up much longer than that.

Worth it. Lets get Sutter in here.

Jacob Markstrom should tear a strip off these guys.

I'm going to watch the third for no other reason than to see if the Flames have any respect for themselves and get angry. If they can't show emotion after this then changes need to happen.

[TBone290]

Thank goodness for the delay. At least another game to enjoy

Hard to blame Ward for bad passing, stupid penalties, giveaways at the blue line, and leaving guys alone in prime scoring places. Or bad reffing to start the game.

Frankly, I thought the Flames were responding to being down 2-0 very well.

That they are a fragile team - who knows. People will say coaching but the players seem to lack determination under fire.

[MonaTone]

If they don't come out just to stir ish up and hit and be complete a-holes in the 3rd they need to strip all the captaincies and fire all the coaches.

Yes, I want a Rocky Thompson level melt down.

You're a more dedicated fan than me.



I'm going to go dust the furniture or something and check back in for the PGT just to see if Zamler has posted something funny.

They came out angry.

They’ve worked hard and competed.

The game plan was bad, the coach is bad, the team is bad.

Who’s going to stand up and fight at this stage? Bennett? He already has. Lucic? Doesn’t really do it anymore. This team is softer than butter, and have no heart.

Im sure its both but lets start with Ward. Its a lot easier to eat 1 mill than move half the team. In due time though.

[troutman]

If there is a silver lining, there is no way the team can stand pat now.

Winds Of Change.
