It sucks, but he's truly going nowhere soon unless BT is fired.

Were you guys watching the same game as me? I saw valimaki contribute heavily to the come back and activate frequently with the offense. He needs to keep playing, press boxing him now will stop any progress.

I chuckled . I’m sure MT secretly chuckles when he sees it on Sportscenter

....or it could have turned into a brawl if it was the other way around. It was careless.

Teammates are probably sick of his sideshow.

Did you see their faces while they were waiting for him to finish his tantrum? Just pure embarrassment.

I don’t doubt that that is true. Unfortunately for Brad, Ward doesn’t have the chops to be a head coach and I’d expect them to be shown the door as a tandem.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

If coaching is the problem, which it looks to be a big problem, then fire him now. Don’t wait until it is too late.

But we know that won’t happen. We need to just hope and pray this group, coaches included, can get it done.

Also, you're all kidding yourselves if you can't see Chucky doing the same thing to get under a guy's skin, so let's not flip out too much

Unfortunately and suprisingly yes.

Whatever love affair ward and tre have with lucic it’s kneecapped the team

Top 6 money
Can’t waive him or move him

Glad he got a goal tonight. We’re married to him. 20 more and maybe it’ll work out.

I recall others saying Ottawa wanted Valemaki as part of a deal for Stone.

lol, if Tkachuk did that you and your buddies would be mashing keyboards

[Jeff Lebowski]

Gio used to be a guy who always got his shot through but he had so many blocked tonight.

Got video evidence? I’d like to see this obvious embarrassment.

That’s stupid.

[Magnum PEI]

Not judging things till mid-February. This is basically early October in a normal season with a full training camp.
Though something has to change with the third pairing. They're on for way too many goals agaisnt. I would like to see Kylly + Valli.

The shame was palpable, their faces looked like my 53 year Leaf loving neighbors face after the first round (or play-in round) every year.

[flylock shox]

Refreshing my memory on the Flames' salary structure (and ignoring the untradeable Lucic contract) it actually looks pretty well balanced overall. But if it were up to me, I'd be looking to move Bennett and Ryan to free up some money and some roster space for a couple of the farm guys to come in and prove their mettle.


The bottom 6 needs a spark...

I think the point is if he does it we have front page news for two days on what a rat he is
