Everyone is #### this year. Even with Sutter. From the taking a #### comment to weird decisions.

It’s like he’s playing mind games with the team.

Weird.

Maybe we need offensive skill in the top lines more than the 4th.
to be fair our 1st line is 1/3 of a 4th line

It’s difficult to be a half glass full guy when the glass is empty. Tough to watch these last few outings. Oof

we might as well shoot for the record if we want this season to be memorable for something

I want to see just how far we can take our PDO deficit and horrid luck after 60 minutes!

let's make the history boys

Phew. At least people won't be complaining that the Flames get too many shots on goal. 31 shots on goal is an improvement, right?

Was anyone on this board at all surprised when the blues scored on that 2 on 1?

Oh well we got a point…..

Sutter put Duerr in. Can't think of any other way to try to create offense.

One of the best 4th lines we had was Hathaway Ryan and Mangiapane.

You could run Lewis - Ruzicka - Jakub still leaves the Lucic experience continuing.

So: 42 games...47 points. If all we do is .500 the rest of the way, we fall well short of snek territory.

On the other hand, if we can get loser points for every game PLUS 7 wins.....we're at 96.

Good luck with that. Gotta be closer to .600 and I just don't see this team getting there. Blech.

we're so bad at picking goalies

that or we just poison them somehow

how is sigalet still employed here. has a single goalie not regressed under his watch? aside from talbot in that bubble year

Remember when the Flames used to be good at 3 on 3? Those were good times. Sad that the extra frame is pretty much a guaranteed loss now.

Things could still work out, but man things are looking precarious at the moment...
Why leave Kadri and Weegar off this list?

Maybe, just maybe we are too worried about corsi and HD% or whatever the #### it is than just actually scoring goals and winning games.

ill take a 12% shooting percentage with a 50% corsi over a 7% shooting percentage with a 60% corsi any day. Lets get a little more skill in the lineup.

If this team manages to make the playoffs it would be interesting to watch what they could do. Underachieving players at every position, they would definitely start the playoffs on the road. No pressure of starting at home, nobody expecting anything from them. If they actually all put it together......could be an upset or two. It's not a bad team, it's a good team that is severely underperforming/achieving.

Flirting with 30 at the end but when we pushed over you knew we lost. If we kept it at 28 and saved our best shot for OT we would have won.
