Our highest paid player is a total liability. It's actually insane

If nothing else you’d think there would be 5-10 games of very high motivation to make big bad Darryl look like the bully they successfully ran out of town. But so far looks like to me Darryl lost the power struggle between our so called star players to get their way vs playing his system his way. Something he was never going to stop preaching no matter what. I know we’re missing Ras but really the team looks anemic and much the same attitude as last year. Sigh. I mean it hasn’t been all bad but last season wasn’t all bad either. Big Z said it, no more Darryl, no more excuses. Seemingly there still are some excuses amongst this group

How do people still attend games? Who pays money to watch this?

I gotta say I feel kinda bad for being so right about Huberdeau through the first 4 games when he was point per game, but on the other hand, the attacks from those game threads have disappeared very quickly recently

No doubt. I'd be all about going to Wranglers games but not this

I'd still be ok with him if he was PPG. He no longer is that.

Holy crap are we awful.
I think there are a lot of things working against the team this season. The coaching staff is new and unproven. Having several key players on expiring deals simply can't be good for team chemistry. They traded their top scorer the season prior for a bottom six forward. All of that and the goaltending is still poor.

LOL if you just tuned in you wouldn't be able to tell what period it is. Flames just play and have absolutely no 2nd gear. Robot like.

Just a bunch of parts that don’t fit together. This team is the direct result of all of Trelivings mistakes. No identity, maybe it was ownerships fault but regardless. Team does not work at all, 89 games, same ####

After these comments, I can't even be bothered to deal with the pop ups on 720P to watch.

When will this team become an above average team?

The worst part of the team is that even when they're working hard and skating, they just don't have the talent to take over most games.

Honestly I’m okay with losing if they work hard. A billion times better than the alternative where they float around.

Can we take some of Trochek's firey passion and give it to our guys?

Any chance the Flames have a female player somewhere in the system that they just haven't given a chance to, but she's just what the team needs? You know, like in old, children's underdog sports movie.
