Don't trade any player except Brouwer or Lazar or F.Hamilton. Just change the coach. GG system doesn't work for faster opponent. They give too much space between Forwards and D, so other team able to get speed entering zone with puck or is going forecheck. And there is no help coming back when D fighting for puck.
the Oilers are slow as #### overall...nearly all the goals were because of ridiculous mistakes

As mentioned in the game thread, by my eyes the gameplan just doesn't seem to change no matter the opponent. Which is why I'm curious if the plan was indeed abandoned during their quasi comeback tonight
The Flames didn't deserve to tie it, but they had a chance with that third period PP, and with the ineffectiveness of the PP earlier in the game, and the ineffectiveness of Brouwer on the PP all year, to still come back to him at that point. . . .
This is the type of thing that has me so down on the coaching staff. No ability or willingness to adapt. Just bull-headed, "This is our plan and we're sticking to it rain or shine."

The Oilers are a terrible hockey team, which made me even more angry seeing the crap fest the Flames put up in the 1st period. The Flames don't even have to play their best just decent and we beat the Oilers. Their defense is awful.

Brodie's issues goes beyond just moving him to the right side. Twice he turned over the puck in the final 5 minutes and both times were when he was on the right side of the ice.
Definitely think there's something to be salvaged from a different coaching strategy but it's hard to not start wondering how much of it is the player versus the coach.
first win of the season for brossoit. flames are the only team capable of making the oilers look good. another pathetic game. brouwer on the powerplay at the end of the game, dude hasn't scored on the powerplay since march. what the #### are they thinking
