Who does that? I think most agree, don't they?

Not surprised at tonight, the Kings are an elite team. We are an AHL team with Giordano. Of course there will be mistakes we are completely outclassed by Stanley Cup winners.

I know. Why the hell does he not give it up? Just get a clip on or go bollo. Maybe he's trying to get a new trend going lol. You've heard of California casual, this is Professional Mad Scientist.

Some fans are so worried about the truculence thing and that he will scare guys like John Gaudreau away with his comments about big players. Reality is you can have a couple small skilled guys but the balance of your team better have size if you want to compete in the west

Wonder what Burke thinks playing against behemoths like these??

Seriously. Let our farm develop and hopefully grow toward that (which we have some of, potentially), or draft big guys with limited upside?

at this point why on earth would we offer Cammy a contract? just to save face by not having him "walk"

that is pretty silly, he is the last thing this team needs

I don't think the Kings like us stealing two wins out of their building. The teeth are out. Just don't want to see Brown's.

Really? I see it all the time. People taking Burke's 'size' comments too literally and thinking it means nothing but a team full of Westgarths

that might be the first time ever I agree with Francis...effort is nice. Flames can't keep icing this type of lineup with top end ticket prices. People can argue supply and demand all they want...2000+ empty seats is whats really going on

go look at the buy and sell section you can buy tickets for pennies on the dollar...all these people gonna renew?

That's unfortunate, but long term picture is important. Unfortunately, the average fan doesn't have that. Good opportunity at some point for those on the waiting list. I'd join, but live in Lethbridge.

Nicely done Backlund.

A little disappointed in Knight. Not quick enough for non-preseason hockey.
