Yeah, how'd that happen? Wasn't this allegedly the best D in the league (on paper, damn you caveats).

I was a huge proponent of no freakouts until 20 games in but this is just abysmal. You've got to think something has to change. I get it, the rebuild isn't over and this was an overachieving team last year sure but this is another beast altogether, this looks like a squad that's the worst team in the league by a longshot.

The outcome of tomorrow's game is going to dictate how busy treliving is going to be. I feel like tomorrow is a tipping point.

We have a worse goal differential than a team that has scored 10 goals all season.

That is insane.

I think he's going to do something regardless. I just hope it isn't something stupid.

The infuriating thing is that a lot of these guys are good hockey players. Everything just seems to have caved in.

Tonight was the first time in a long time that I left before the game was over. With 8 minutes left to boot. I couldn't take it anymore. Especially with all the Habs fans there cheering so loudly in our building.

This season feels like a bunch of alien imposters have kidnapped last year's Calgary Flames and replaced them with sad sack look alikes. I want my old Flames back!

Maybe last year was alien imposters and this season we are getting the team we thought we would get last year?

Thank goodness we avoided that pesky generational draft. Phew! ... that was a close one.

Ha ha ha. You have to admit if the Flames end up picking top 2 this year we will look back at last season as some sort of cruel and twisted joke.

By the time the 20 game mark rolls around, the Flames could possibly be 10 games under .500. Hope I'm wrong.

My 20 years habit of watching Flames' hockey is in jeopardy. Cannot tolerate this #### 3 times a week
