If gaudreau was theoretically going to continue playing like this for the remainder of the year, would it really be harming our playoff chances if we traded him sooner rather than later?

Man. Just one of those games...

Have the Flames been great? Not really.
Have they been bad? No.
Have they been incredibly unlucky? Yes.
Do the players look frustrated? Yes.

It’s a microcosm of the season.

Not sure what I'm even watching anymore. Man, this team looked great against the oil and thought they turned a corner.

After watching this team for years, this core is not gonna get a cup. They can play well, really well. They just don't have the mental fortitude to sniff a cup.

We have a choice. Have a good, inconsistent team, or bring in some mentally tougher players.

I would say they couldn't score into an empty net but that wouldnt be an exaggeration cause its true.

Seriously, its time to trade Backlund and Gaudreau while we can get a decent return.

It's not bad luck. Tons of shots from the high slot and point but no one driving the net and no one moving their feet. Even when they get a zone entry they're always gliding in and pass it to the boards, where they can be safe.

Over 8 periods during this Eastern Canadian road trip, against teams that had a combined 2 wins over their last 22 games before playing the Flames and had allowed an average of 4.05 goals against per game in that span, the Flames have scored 1 goal.

Incredible job, guys! It takes talent to suck that bad.

Lmao

Shutout in Montreal. 2 goals in a win in Toronto. And unless they wake up soon, it will be another shutout here. Gads. What a bipolar team. I am going to do my dishes. Unfortunately, I don't have enough to last the rest of game.

I'm starting to lean towards believing this team needs a significant retooling. Keep Tkachuk, Lindholm, Andersson, Dube and Rittch and try to do something to fix the rest of the team.

They way the Flames enter the zone on the Power play is way to predictable. Skate to red line, drop back to JG...and that's it.

Probably the most easy play to defend against when they know they are going to do it every single time.
