We don't score, puck turns back the other way for an almost assured two on one, except Hamilton, you know, the guy who started the offensive rush, somehow beats every Oiler back and makes it a two on two.

The guy is a stud and is only going to get better as he adjusts to a new team. Have some damn patience.

The issue is that a lot here expected him to be a good defender too, and he hasn't been.

This is bad. Really bad. The whole McDavid CBC circle jerk makes it that much worse, but what is the issue with the Flames right now> Goaltending? meh. Defense? Meh. Offense? Meh. Basically as far as I can tell, the Flames are not doing a SINGLE thing well.

I know it's early, but this is very concerning.

I wouldn't just blame those two. 90% of people are just on the same page.

Or he's been just as good but that's not good enough because a rookie has to be 'better' than a vet for some reason to beat him out. It's not like Hiller and Ramo are good goalies or have a future here, might as well give the kid with actual potential a shot. Or not, whatever. Might as well let him rot in the press box instead.

Great post. Just wanted to quote it so everyone could give it a read. He's nothing like Boumeester, definitely not the version that played in Calgary at least.

Well. That couldn't have gone more shambolically. Please show up for the third, Flames. Please.

Better come out flying in the 3rd, losing to these tools is unacceptable. The McDavid smack talk will be unbearable if they win. You know VERVE and the rest will be back in droves.

Yeah I typically ignore these intermissions but I glanced at the dress and just kept staring. That was like watching Fox sports.

Or maybe the Flames are trying to decide which one to keep - Hiller or Ramo?

I'm pretty over the team never being ready to play. It may have been a little bit cute last year, plucky underdogs coming back from being down so often, but enough is enough already. What in the actual #### is our coaching staff doing?
