At least Calgary will host some playoff games. Go Wranglers Go!
Anyway I still hope Flames will go 9-0 run. 97 points. Go Flames Go!

Yes, and they have to do it.

With a team so dysfunctional you can't afford to let that bleed into another season. Can't happen.

Frank Seravalli or Allan Walsh
It's stuff like this that makes me think TSN wanted rid of him.

You don't go from 115 points to 50ish because of coaching. The dude just has no heart. He got paid and is just mailing it in now.

He's been out there many times this season in similar situations.
At some point, being the $84M guy doesn't guarantee you those minutes without performance.
He has had enough opportunity to prove he should be out there.

Frank just smells trouble in the Sutter waters and found a way to insert himself into the discussion like the buttplug he is.

Frank is a weirdo.

Like a Wal-Mart Jay Leno.

This is almost as bad as 2010 when we all flew to Boston to see our heros get pummeled by he Bruins. The Bruin fans bought us all beers to make fun of us. Then laugh at us Flame losers the whole way out the door.

That was my low point as a fan. Brent’s bro giving his best effort to beat him however.

I feel like this is a pretty bold claim when Johnny Gaudreau went from 99 in 82 to 58 in 70 under different coaches

Ralph Krueger almost turned Jeff Skinner into an AHLer.

Happy for Lucic and Lewis that they get to get off this rollercoaster.

0.451 winning percentage. Losing more than you win won’t cut it.

What could have been if we embraced the rebuild when Johnny walked and Chucky wanted out in the off-season.

Speaking of Gaudreau

115 points and +64 last year
65 points and -26 right now

guys do have massive drop offs in the wrong situation

Let all the free agents go except for Stetcher (if he wants to stay)

And play Pelletier, Zary and Coronato up full time.

Trade Vladar for picks and get Wolf in as the 1B.

Sutter... out to pasture.

Looch takes a lot of hatred on here but he showed up and worked his ass off. He has lost a step (or several) but if the new additions to this team (besides Weegar) took a page from him it would sure be nice.

And by all accounts players like him in the room and respect him. Sure he’s not the same guy he was but you can tell he brings character.

Yep, and it has been that way all season. A team that can't win more than they lose is a team that wouldn't do anything even if they squeaked into the playoffs anyways.

can't really count 3 on 3 and SO losses towards how they would potentially do in the playoffs

Should've practiced 3 on 3.....

Season could've been saved just by going .500 beyond regulation.

Never seen a team look so inept with all that open ice.
