You dont need to say it 100 times a day and in every game thread...maybe we could you know, talk about the game?
Well he is the only Flames fan who wants a winning team and the fans who think winning is good to develop a winning team frustrate him so he needs to explain how enjoying this game where they won is really a detriment to winning.

There wasn't much to talk about for the game. It was very low event and maybe the most boring game of the year. Although I also blame the schedule because you had both teams playing on a back to back.
The difference was Huberdeau and Wolf, they were good. Weegar was also good. Defensively we had our best game, we only allowed a few high danger chances.
I do wonder though, results aside if playing a system like Huskas will bring fans to the new building if we keep him the next few years. You can argue he is good or bad but I don't think anyone can argue that his brand of hockey might be the most boring in the league.
Lol. Imagine this one year he plays like his old 100+point self for this one session, costing the Flames a high pick and then returning to 50 points. That truly would make him the worst contract in the league.

I am sure that whenever the vets do get traded that it won't be for enough and that Conroy should have held out or that the team is really bad and boring. They will just switch to complaining about something else

Maybe this successful penalty kill will energize the team and in the 2nd period we will get 4 or possibly even 5 shots on goal.

it's not even that calgary is playing defensively sound hockey we just are not doing anything

exactly the kind of game we all expected against the calgary flames, our biggest rivals of all time
Quote:
Im in awe of the Flyers ability to consistently play only as good as their opponent. We play hard and fast against good teams and we look terrible against terrible teams. I truly don't understand it
Quote:
Part of it is that good teams stretch the ice because they think they can out-possess and out-score us, which in turn leaves us more room to move the puck when we do have it.
Bad teams like Calgary trap, clutch, grab, and clog the ice, and we aren't good enough or confident enough to move the puck without fear of giving up a bad transition, especially with our lines all scrambled. So we play super-conservative against them.
IMO- Special Teams may actually be where we win this game. Our PP will have room to work, and our PK is MUCH better than CGY's PP.
Quote:
When a team gets off to as poor a start as Calgary has, I'll admit a level of curiosity to seeing them play for the 1st time. They look so uninterested and disorganized early on this game, a good team should jump all over them, get a goal or 2, and take out whatever life they might've had and be able to coast to a win (relatively speaking of course).
Problem is of course for the Flyers is that they play such a low event style hockey, it isn't conducive to really attacking and taking advantage of a weak team, and is letting them hang around. This isn't a Calgary team that anyone expected to be good, but they aren't talentless and if you let them stay in the game and start feeling like they can win, it makes for a much more difficult and competitive game than it otherwise could've been.

No-Shot Hockey

I wonder if Tocchet told Briere and Jones at his interview, “look I can’t promise we’ll make the playoffs or even finish with many more points than last year, but I can guarantee you that we will play the kind of mind numbing, boring hockey that just might lead to a ####load of OT gsmes.”
Nah, who am I kidding, what interview?

No goals.
I'm sure Tocchet will reward Juulsen with more ice time. He loves that ass backwards hockey.
Every other ####ing team in the league supports young players and instead we give them two 4th liners. What a great franchise
Quote:
Even for a Tocchet coached team, 6 shots is f***ing pathetic half way through the game.

How long till Tocchet is fired ????
Quote:
I miss Torts system.
Quote:
Now going on 8 out of 12 games this season being absolute garbage hockey.
I cannot wait till Tocchet is fired
Quote:
They’re just taking low danger shots to appease Tocchet because his system doesn’t lead to much but he’s whining about shots. Zegras is cooking, but you can tell he got the memo too with these top of the circle shots. These lines are f***ing diarrhea too. Helping the cause, Rick.
Quote:
I've tried to remain optimistic. But this is just not fun. Flyers are turning me into a Sixers fan.
Quote:
Every Tocchet system is like this and why would the Flyers magically play any better with their mediocre roster that completely lacks any high end C or D and best scorer looks like hes lost a step?
Only reason we were in a playoff spot was b/c of Vladar standing on his head.

Is this the most boring game off all time?
Quote:
Pepperidge Farm remembers the thread of Tocchet being hired
Quote:
Never understood Tocchet hiring and never will, dude stifled multiple young talents and achieved absolute #### all with all the teams he coached, yet apparently whole NHL was convinced he is some hot shot game changer coach.
What I am worried about is that he is going to cost us Michkov, our one good luck in this decade of darkness
f the league flames and we play down to their level [/quote]
Quote:
The Rick Tocchet trap was evident and they fell right into it. Based on his achivements he was way overhyped in NHL circles, and a bunch of us knew it and got downvoted when we pointed it out. Add that he was a former Flyer and friends with the FO and of course he got hired. They did almost two years without doing things that was typical Flyers to do. Then they were right back at it. Don’t be surprised when Mich asks for a trade.

Morgan and Joel points etched into stone.
Do they have any rookies or young players that need a milestone?
Or anybody struggling that needs a good game to come back?
Yesterday it was Stolarz bounce back game and Cowan 1st NHL goal so we already knew the outcomes.
Quote:
Why must this team always play up or down to their competition? Against the good teams they manage to win, or at least play like they give a damn, but as soon as they play a team that is struggling, or in this case the worst team in the league so far this season, that's when they decide to suck. Feels like it's been like this for years.

Man, we are playing straight awful right now

Ok. I’m actually going to bed now. That was so embarrassing.

This is ####ing terrible. We can’t get pucks on net at all, are dominating possession/zone time, can’t buy a call, and are losing to the worst team in the league.

This is a flat out embarassment. Basically nullifies any progress we thought we made. 12 shots and no goals at home against a tanking horrendous team.
Quote:
Tickets are too expensive for this garbage
Quote:
1 goal at home against the worst team in the league is unacceptable. Tocchet deserves a ton of responsibility for this result. Why was the Zegras - Dvorak - Michkov line split up. Michkov continues to get 3rd line minutes despite the team barely scoring all season. Pretty clear Vladar was just covering up the team’s issues.
Quote:
Tocchets treatment of Michkov is getting real maddening. Early on, sure. Not now. He's been one of their best Fs last 5GP. Hurting the team more than anything. Idiotic.
Quote:
I don't really consider games like what happened tonight to be indicative of some greater meaning like a lot of people seem to when they happen, but God damn that was an atrocious hockey game with some absolutely baffling coaching decisions. Worst use of 3 hours of my time in a while

Sure, he will need to learn how to be a pro. I just don't understand people who preach about how we have a good culture. Like what does that mean?
We have what three playoff series wins in the last 2 decades? How good can the culture really be.
The team has never had enough TALENT to win in the playoffs. That's not the fault of the culture. You might as well say a can of house paint is defective because you can't paint the whole house with that one can.
But talent without the culture also doesn't win in the playoffs, which is why the Oilers never won bugger-all in the McDavid era until they ran most of their homegrown players out of town and replaced them with veterans who learned to play sound hockey in other organizations.

I know you're being facetious, but I wish he would play on a 100-point pace and make his contract valuable.
I missed the game but nice to see them with the win. Frost looked good in the highlights.

His contract is kind of irrelevant to the Flames given their current situation. It's not tradeable regardless of how he plays and it's not hurting them in the least as they aren't spending to the cap and don't have a current or impending Stanley Cup or even playoff window. It's likely the last few years of the contract that may sting but by the end of the decade there's going to be a lot of NHL teams holding the bag with bad contracts like this for late 30's players.
At least the ATL report is even more entertaining now, love reading the absolute terror and shock that the other teams fans cannot figure out how they lost to the Calgary "who are they again?" Flames.

Flames choked out a napping Flyers to close out the road trip in what was genuinely one of the least entertaining games I’ve ever watched. I feel like the only skill on display was Huberdeau’s beautiful tip on Weegar’s shot. Shame that Wolf lost the SO at the end.
The team has never had enough TALENT to win in the playoffs. That's not the fault of the culture. You might as well say a can of house paint is defective because you can't paint the whole house with that one can.

I don't think culture has anything to do with it. Their problem has been defense and goaltending for a while. If they had those they'd be winning. And despite being weak in both they've still come very close.
Gosh, that 16'/17' season really crippled the Colorado franchise. Their young players learned nothing but how to lose. They've been a failed franchise ever since.
Oh I'm sure you would find it splendid. Not because of the Flames being in the playoffs or successful or any of that... but because you get off on seeing unhappiness befall people you disagree with.
If they made a big playoff push only to end up just short of the playoffs, I wouldn't exactly call that splendid. Would you?
This is true of every junior player ever... what's your point?
I don’t get off on others’ unhappiness…I get annoyed at the constant theme hammered at us that losing is good and high picks will save us. There is no real evidence that is true. Lots of teams get high picks and go nowhere worthwhile. Some…occasionally…like COL do…but it’s neither a slam-dunk nor an axiomatic truth. It’s a belief. I don’t believe it.
Would I be happy (happier?) with a high draft pick? Maybe. Depends what they do with him.
