Listening to this guy too. He's actually crying! He's obviously led a charmed life.

Instead, I spent valuable time making this:

by the logic above, i don't see how this adds to the "whole game"

I believe when the other team has more goals than your team at the end of 60 you lose. The compilation of a zillion intersecting things over a few hour period cost one team a game.

I wonder if Tkachuk wants out ... ultimately
whatever that entails.

Yep - have to admit I was sucked in at first too. Probably really happy with himself now too. What a loser.

lol ok buddy, if you think johnny tying his skates right left contributed more to flames losing this game that lucic dumb momentum killing penalties or poor goaltending I'll let you have that piece of mind

[dino7c]

oh god, even the non trolls are terrible

going on about the Islanders

we need robert to call

Quick pull from Natural Stat Trick of first line centres in the playoffs as a proxy of first lines. The Flames' first line really really let the team down which you don't need stats to tell you.

I think trading the "top duo" for multiple first and prospects in a mini-rebuild on the fly is the way to go.

They've shown that they're not as vital to our success as we gave them credit for, mostly because they can't be the go-to guys we need them to be, and maybe that's on our flawed evaluation/interpretation of them. Meanwhile much of the supporting cast has done a great job of showing that they can elevate, which is highly encouraging.

Monahan is a 1B/2A but won't be your bonafide #1, Gaudreau could complement a high end play-driving center or elite scorer very well, but won't be the guy to stir the drink in a high stakes situation where there is ample physicality.

They will both do very well with a change of scenery I'm sure, but the experiment here has run its course. It's over ripe now and the hints of magic just aren't there any more and didn't manifest how we had anticipated.

If we acquire a heap of young talent, Lindholm, Hanifin, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Dube, Bennett, Andersson and Valimaki are all young enough that they can grow with the new core pieces that we bring in via those trades. And that supporting cast with a couple savvy free agent signings could keep us competitive and viable enough to tie us over until when the young talent can step into their roles.

We rolled the dice in 2013 and it didn't come up what we were hoping. We've got to not delude ourselves now after several kicks at the can with these specific top players and call a spade a spade and accept that it's the right time to roll the dice again to capitalize on the futures of Rasmus, Dillon, and Juuso here rather than wait on something that probably won't happen with this specific group.

Ottawa will have their #### together over there before we know it, and they did a full tear down, which isn't what we would even need to do. We can put hope back on the menu here in short order with decisive action.

Yeah I don’t want to hear from Bowness or any other NHL millionaire about how ‘hard’ it is to live in a bubble. Hearing the stories from fellow CP’ers about losing loved ones during this puts these millionaires claims insignificant. I have best friends in front line health care working 16+ hour shifts for peanuts compared to what these millionaires make . A lot of us are away from our families for periods to make a living. We look to NHL for an escape, we don’t want to hear life is rough because you need to spend a couple months away, when some of us are away on a regular basis.

As for Edmonton, misery loves company. But even with our underwhelming, bizarre season, we still bested them head to head and in terms of meaningful hockey.

As for Vancouver, I'm looking forward to St. Louis smashing them twice in a row. The Blues probably should've won yesterday but the Nucks pulled a rabbit out of a hat. They look like Edmonton with their rope-a-dope hockey. I literally watched 50 minutes split between two games where the Blues had the puck about the entire time. They're not legit (..yet). They just caught their opponent still sleeping in the first two games.

Their goalie stole that game...it should have been 6-1 in the second period. People are talking like the Canucks are playing so great...one guy is the Flames should throw him an offer 4x7

That Tkachuk gif in the OP is hard to watch. Probably cause I felt that, so much.
