He is a legend. However, with all the cuts at the station, he is likely the only one getting paid now. . He can take the whole payroll!

So, the Flames have something to play for?

Is this not to burn his first year of ELC à la Gaudreau?

Not playing him might be enough to burn bridge and have him peace out to Florida when his contract is up lol.

[BruceCody]

Me through this season.

Hope the org doesnt over react and fire Treliving. Dont need a knee-jerk reaction like rhat

[CFO]

Kadri was night and day difference in games where he passed the puck versus trying to stick handle and shoot himself.

Strange season. Good metrics. Good roster on paper. Positive goal differential. Team was sunk by shooting percentage and save percentage.

If I'm in charge of the organization, I'm largely staying the course. Can always sell at the deadline if you flame out again.

Why? Was it LaBarbera who got Amanda pregnant?

Why are we still using this as an excuse. He was bad after the pregnancy as well.

We know what is going to happen now. Flames will win against the Sharks and the Jets/Preds both lose out so Flames will finish tied with the Jets for 8th and miss on the tiebreak.

Flames are 3 back they can’t tie the Jets

If you include the oilers series, he was bad BEFORE the pregnancy as well.

Dude is Tommy Salo. Oilers broke him and he’s done. GTFO Markstrom.

[Nyah]

I can't see any world in which Sutter is back behind the bench next season. What an utterly depressing season and a probably depressing offseason ahead.

Go Boston.

Pregnancy: 0.888 SV%
Post-pregnancy (still with a newborn): 0.901 SV%

If the he played the whole season at 0.901, that's +13 goals saved. Still bad, but at least we'd be in the playoffs.

To top it off Coronato 2 goals, Pelletier a hat trick, Wolf a shutout.

Treliving's contract is expiring so really the ball is in his court.

I look forward to you telling us why we should be optimistic with all these large contracts heading into next season, followed by your wisdom of why things are gonna be different and we shan’t be a middling team again!

I think the gif isn't pushing back on a pessimist.

It's pushing back on a pessimist patting himself on the back.

I mean seriously ... be the most negative guy, suggest everything will always go wrong, and then show up and do a victory lap when they miss the playoffs and expect not to see a reaction?

The statistics of both goaltenders don't paint a rosy picture for Labarbera. If he was working for another organization I would think he's on really shaky ground but he works for the Flames where the last goaltending coach actually got promoted for being terrible at his job.

[btimbit]

That was just Sutter flipping us all the bird on his way out, right? No way he actually thought that was the best SO option

It's 2 back.

If they were 3 back, even a win last night wouldn't have mattered, as it would have put them 2 back and in a position to end in a tie. But it did matter.
