Zadarov needs to be re-signed.

What a beaut.

Team needs to be called out, this isn't an optimal start and players need to start playing with urgency.

Whould'a thought Big Z would have eventually been this awesome when we first got him. Dude just keeps proving himself a gem on and off the ice.

Zadorov himself has sucked and almost single handedly cost us vs Columbus with his blunders.

I don't want whatever he'll get on his next contract

This isn't a team. This is a bunch of people slapped together and a flaming C taped to their chests.

Good on Z calling it out. Kadri did this last season too when talking with Frank at the All Star game.

I would've taken 'Ronato out too, it's helpful for rookies to take a step back occasionally. Wouldn't mind him getting games in the ahl at some point too if the team isn't doing well.

Man, this place is gonna be unbearable if they lose this one. Flames need to bring their A game tonight, if they even have one.

The contract situations...a distraction?

Locker room friction?

Sounds about right.

We as fans all want the best for the Team. I want the Team to be a top team in the league, and I still love them even when they aren't.

...I just think that combined with last season, that there's a lot more "good" to see with this roster construction. So, I'd like to see them begin the long road to changing it at a foundational level.

Oh good...more dressing room issues.

Someone needs to get in there and clunk some skulls together like a 3 Stooges skit.

So true, well said.

Ward was too soft so they needed a firmer coach, got that firmer coach.. was too much for them.. got a softer coach.. no changes ( thus far) Bring Sutter back?? Keenan as assistant coach?!

Big Z is becoming my favorite player. He's right on so many levels about not playing as a team. His comments might not be popular to the rest of the team but it needs to be said.

Well who is he talking about?

The guys who turned over coaches regularly are gone.

So is he talking about Andersson, Hanifin, Mangiapane, Backlund?

Are we really surprised there’s still issues?
Your top line center and your top 2 D man both want nothing to do with Calgary unless they get fat paycheques.

Some of us said this exact thing in the off-season, those guys should have been unloaded before the season because now all it’s done is distracted the team. Man this roster needs an enema something fierce, talk about botching the best rebuild opportunity and then doubling down the following year after the prior GM saddled the franchise with dead weight.

Z should have a letter on his jersey, the guy bleeds for this team when 75% don’t give a ####.

BLOW IT UP!

Also, I love Zadorov. His on ice play may not always be top 4 caliber so he gets exposed but he is still a solid top 5 dman.

If the price and term is right I would have no issues re-signing him.

Hartley as the other assistant. Tortorella video coach.

Interesting timing for the comments after that atrocious backcheck by #10 last game causing a goal against and a goal against coming from a direct giveaway.
