Sitting here in disbelief. I am sure we will hear lots of cliches from the players, coaches, etc. But the point is no one is taking ownership of this debacle. I don't think they really want to be this incompetent. Until someone decides to take control of the situation, I am afraid things might get worse.

No chance you write off the season, ever. As a fan, sure. Do whatever you want, but this is pro sports and there is no such thing as writing off a season. As an owner of an NHL team I would be completely outraged and disgusted if my management team had even the slightest consideration of writing off a season quarter of the way through. You get back to work and solve problems and find a way.
Write off the season....please.

Oh right there was a Flames game tonight.

Just expect losses guys, it's easier to swallow.

Yup. PLEASE don't try to save this season. It's done already.
Have a REALLY bad year and get a franchise player.

Flames pro trip: PVR the game and fast-forward until they score. Makes for a pretty quick game and takes the sting out a bit.

It's times like these I'm glad I put my fanaticism into Cavalry.

The fanbase which is trying very hard to be loyal and seems to care about the team more than the players do does not deserve this.

Yep.

It would be the most flames thing ever to deficit spend to try and save this season or to make a panic trade and move quality for quantity.

Please, just sell. Do it in December. Use this year as a development year for the young players we do have. Sell Brodie and Hammer soon. Rely on the youngsters.

Just do it right for once. Please.
