This really is a worry. Connie needs to start the fire sale this week. Just start spinning them out the door.

Edmonton is so culture-less and vanilla all they could come up with for the intermission to entertain 60,000 people was sit around and reminisce with some mediocre former players who played in an outdoor game that was by all accounts a horrible experience that no one is nostalgic about (except for Ron).

Two different coaches, same #### system in the offensive zone. You can't honestly think anything would change do you? I said back in May this is what it would look like under this coach, so yes coaching is clearly the main issue with this team. The only difference is Sutter's system was much better in its own zone and they knew how to enter a the o zone. Huska's system is a turnover machine with the losest zone D ever. You're right though, all these guys went rotten in two years and totally forgot how to play the game, that is much more plausible.

Well, Shanahan better hope that it was truly Murray Edwards pulling the strings. This situation doesn’t look good on Brad, who fled town without even answering questions about the dumpster fire he left behind.

Lindholm gets overlooked in all the Huberdeau and Kadri hate, I'm so surprised at how he's played in a contract year it's legitimately concerning.

Just because you are petty doesn’t mean he is

Brad didn't make the moves he did for the team to suck. The moves just ended up being bad in hindsight

It's basically an Oilers Home game. Not sure why you would expect any different.

You don’t know Treliving or me. Resorting to personal attacks definitely reflects on your personality.

For him… and his financial future yes. He’s costing himself millions.

This team blows. Everyone knows it. Time to actually lean into it. Trade the UFAs and Markstrom and make a frigging high pick.

And a high second. Those often get overlooked but guys in the early 30s can be big pieces

[WhiteTiger]

Ok, well...let's try to do SOMETHING this period, Flames? Show some emotion? Anything? Bueller?

If this means we avoid the 8x9.3 contract then I welcome it.

Your posts speak for your pettiness.

Yes, he is in a contract year and he looks totally ineffective in the offensive end just like everybody else. This is a guy looking for 9M a year and he can't get rolling. What does that tell you? Maybe, just maybe, it is the system.

I see we decided to come out and start the 2nd period just like we played the first period. odd choice in my view.

Back to the slaughter

Huska to them "please go out and make a gosh darn play"

[Royle9]

Flames just don’t move their feet in the D zone.. we’re beat to every loose puck.
Is this the crappy zone system or is this the crappy team effort? I honestly don’t know.

[memphusk]

Horrid Teams in Horrid sweaters. Yuck.
