If we act like we suck, skate like we suck, and play like we suck. I am pretty sure we suck.

Jooris has to take a penalty cause Russell doesn't skate, pass or chip the puck properly, just passes it to Weise.. Pp Habs..

With that succinct assessment after a handful of games I think you should apply to be an NHL scout.

You have a very valuable skill, my friend.

Flames have been the better team. Ortio can't stop a beach ball

All the good the teams does dies when Russell and Wideman are defending. Ortio has been soft. But I don't think any of the goalies have the confidence in the guys playing in front of them.

It's now boiled down to a handful of individuals on this team that are causing most of the suck... not the whole.

I can't convince you or help you see it from an alternative perspective. So, agree to disagree.

Need to stop being fragile and just suck it up and keep pressing. The team just slumps and starts feeling sorry for itself when we get a couple bad breaks.

I have to wonder if we should trade the vets now before their stock falls even further, or if we should just wait and hope the bleeding stops one day

Do people still think Russell is a top 4 defenceman? Ugh. Either trade him to some blind GM, or put him on waivers.

When did I say he was the answer?

It's clear that he's a good hockey player and we should not have given him away for free.

If it wasn't for the amazing rec league pair of Russell and Wideman, this game would be 2-1 Flames right now.

I don't understand how they struggle with such simple things as gap control game in and game out.

Watching a goalie play terrible just comes naturally to me I guess. It's almost as if everyone else can see it too....
