[TheScorpion]

I don't mind Lucic the player, but Lucic the presence sure leaves a lot to be desired.

Unbelievably dumb.

She must have lost her talking points on paper.

Is Rittich going to score goals? 3/4 of the team has been sleepwalking and 55 and 58 are trying to outdo who can get the most turnovers.

I still wouldn’t mortgage any high draft picks for a stop gap measure. One average top six player isn’t then one to jump the hurdle to contender status.

I agree, this team should not be dealing a 1st at the deadline but at the same time I am not calling for BT to blow it up and sell everything either.

Flames D is overrated

Has been for awhile

They are both pretty bad.

[WhiteTiger]

Both Talbot and Smith ejected. Interesting

Rinaldo should have been in this game.

[Monahan For Mayor]

So I haven’t watched much Flames this year, but I have fought these battle of Alberta games... question. Has Gaudreau been this invisible all year ? Man he looks like a ghost out there.

Fun game despite the poor showing.

Game isn't over. but if it is, I can lose with dignity. Unlike all the grown adults writing for that clown show.

And many of the grown adults posting in this thread.
Yeesh. The Flames have been embarrassing this game, but nothing like the histrionics in the game thread.

His comments to Burke about drafting Mangiapane the other night were cringeworthy.

More like Flames are down by 3 and Cassie still says advantage Flames? Koskinen must be terrible.

[MrMike]

Emergency goalies now on the bench. Come on Rittich and Koskinen fight each other.

To be as ineffective as Lucic? No one engages those players anymore.

[Dion]

The Flames sat back in the second and let the Oilers come to them.

[Johnny Makarov]

Alright. I'll be fine with Lucic taking a 5 gamer for taking out Koskinen in the 3rd. It has to be within the first 5 mins though.

I used to respect Elliot, but over the last year, he's become terrible.
