Vegas slaughter the Flames as Gulutzan once again is unable to prepare the Flames after a break. Gulutzan remains clueless while CP thinks of another excuse why we lost.

If they show up flat and unprepared I'm going to lose my mind.

That would be like goddamned Groundhog Day.

I hope they surprise us all and come out with some energy, but really, when was the last time this happened?

It's quite interesting, actually.

My "bold" prediction is that our system counters LV's perfectly and we dominate the game on the way to a win.

If the Flames get a powerplay goal, they will win.

And believe it or not...I'm predicting they DO!

In overtime or a shootout?

Might as well buy a lottery ticket as well. If you are right on the PP goal, this just may be your lucky day.

Oilers and Ducks have the Flames' number. Time for the Flames to start a ''we have their number'' thing with another team. And no better team to start that against then the VGK! Hopefully this is the start of a long and dominating stretch versus this team. 5 games upcoming, 10 points on the line. We're 10 points behind the GK. Make it happen bois!

Hopefully Frolik can bring a sense of urgency back to the group. It's like acquiring a middle 6 winger. Would like to see the 3M line go back on a tear like they were last season. Janko and Bennett need to start picking it up again. Having 3 lines rolling would help immensely.

As much as I would love the PP to score us some goals and win us a game or 2, I have ZERO faith in that happening. So I'm simply going to stop wishing for that to happen and just accept the fact that we have Dave Cameron as the worst PP coach in the league, and leave it at that.

We only play 4 games against them but yes, let's dominate nonetheless!

Pretty much every game in the last 10. Except I missed the very beginning of the Edmonton game so not sure about that.

The "not prepared" line is so 2017.

They scored on the first shot in Edmonton.

It's not that they aren't prepared.. they just get bored during the 3rd period. I wouldn't blame them, 2 periods should be more than enough for a hockey game.. right?! I especially feel bad for them because they have had to play almost an entire extra period over the past 4 games.

Call up 2 LW players, play Lazar on off side. Alright.

Why not sit Lazar (sorry Comix) or move him to C?

I would like to see them try Dougie on the first unit, but starting to think it doesn't matter the personnel at this point. Its the execution of whatever this system is

I actually think Hathaway could use a game upstairs.

Lomberg - Stajan - Lazar

is the 4th line I would have gone with tonight. Then brought a really motivated Hathaway back into the lineup on Thursday.

I asked Pat on Thursday why Eat Bread is being sat over Lazar/Hathaway. Doesn't think its punishment and he'll eventually make his way back into the lineup.

Sure seems like Eatbread is in GG's dog house.
