Because Camerons still behind the bench

Stop with the excuses we always read and hear in the media and make some damn changes. If one or all of the coaches are not doing their jobs then replace them with some who will. Talk is cheap and that is all we're getting!!

All unwanted tickets can be emailed to me.

Does anyone know if teams can hire assistant coaches from other teams during the season?

Hunter Shinkaruk says the coach told them "we have to be better" after the game. Do you really fricking think so, GG? Do you really think that? Talk about Captain Obvious. Loser. Enjoyed seeing Johnny show some spark.

If they wait until Christmas, the season will be beyond salvage imo.

The 2014 Cup Champs were 27th. (15.1%)
The 2013 Cup Champs were 19th (16.7%)
The 2012 Cup Champs were 17th (17.0%)

I would gladly welcome back Gelinas and his "terrible" PP. At least he has won a thing at any professional level. Cameron has our PP at 8% and two of our PP goals came against a team with the single worst PK start. Our PP is a nightmare that never even makes me at least think the other team's goalie made a nice save. The mantra of shooting long wristers into goalie's chestpads from easy-to-save angles is bordering on insanity.

Those special teams...nothing special about them except they f'ing sucked and lost the game for us.

30th place PP
29th place PK (30th overall the last 2 seasons combined)

Disgusting. Not sure what more there is to say about that.

I thought the team played pretty good overall this game. But the bar for what's ''good'' when it comes to the Flames is pretty damn low.

Lots to say but I'm tired...

Giordano needs to hit the damn net on the PP.

I'm waiting for the "We weren't prepared for the team" "We glue one piece and the other falls off bs"

Does BT have the courage to do the right thing? I doubt it and expect this will be a very long season

okay, Gelinas was bad instead of terrible. My point does not change.

Not true.

It showed Johnny walking the Stars and making a successful zone entry

Not expecting him to say he's running a craptastic special teams but saying its going well.

I can only imaging Morgan Freeman narrating this season - " It was not going well"
