[GDT] Flames vs Sens 5:30. Flames hoping to play something resembling NHL Hockey

[Cube Inmate]

No good can come of the Flames' next game.

A win will perpetuate the myth that this coaching staff deserves another chance.
A loss will embarrass us further, but result in no changes anyhow.

Therefore, I suggest forfeiting the remainder of the season.

I doubt this guy could skate.

Is Versteeg not able to play his off-wing? I'd throw him on with Gaudreau and Monahan

No kidding. Launch him into the sun already.

I would, too. He's been the best forward this year not on the 3M line.

[thymebalm]

Nobody else predicting that the Flames let in the first goal before going down by four and only scoring at a meaningless goal late after the game has been decided?

This team looks like they've been practicing losing with the skill and ease they do it at. Anything less than a blowout loss would shock me.

I'm so pissed they showed up for those 6 weeks and hoodwinked me into thinking we were a playoff team.

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go! (Please!)

No he hasn't.

...unless you're talking about best VALUE forward.

Who's been consistently better than Versteeg, outside of the 3M line? Maybe Monahan, but that's really debatable.

Gaudreau: super inconsistent. Not a chance
Brouwer: not a chance
Bennett: ice cold at times, not a chance.
Ferland: had a great start, has been awful since
Stajan: no
Hathaway: I mean, maybe, but he can't score
Bouma: can't score
Hamilton: certainly not
Monahan: maybe, although he's also been quite inconsistent

All season long, Versteeg has been this team's best playmaking forward. He's been tenacious and has a good nose for the net. He scores pretty consistently at greater than a .5 PPG pace.

He's got three points in his last 11 games. Hardly a symbol of consistency.

Even still, on this team that's still in the upper echelon. And nobody at all has been scoring lately, it isn't just Kris.

Not a big fan of the GDT GT PGT thread titles with people's personal opinions baked right in. I wish it would stick to who we're playing, time it's at or what the score was. Yes, we're all frustrated as fans. No, I don't feel we need to set the tone of the entire thread with negativity.

Just my thoughts.

GFG!

[bigrangy]

Gaudreau at his worst still gets a lot more accomplished than Versteeg does at his usual pace.

Considering expectations I'd rank Versteeg just after Stajan and 3M in terms of performance, but if you want to go by actual contributions, even a bad Johnny outclasses him (and any other non-3M forward) by a mile.

[1qqaaz]

My personal opinion is rather negative today. I predict a 4-1 loss.

So a game thread where the play of the team isnt discussed? Pretty small and boring thread then.

This sentiment reminds me of when people were getting mad at me for putting puns in the PGT titles.

Yeah, it might not make sense, but what's wrong with it?

Thread title



I don't care how much we bitch and moan in the thread but the titles lately are all

"We are a steaming pile of hot garbage and I hate the Flames and we are the bads flames v someone"

[David Struch]

So Chaisson gets demoted off the 1st line down to the 3rd line that is actually our 1st line.
