[GT] Flames Vs Canuks

[dino7c]

Flames controlled 90% of that period...10% was a gong show though

[Manhattanboy]

Just re-watched that goal as well, Tkachuk - wow.

[Red]

Tkachuk is known for watching the play while standing still.
The knee was nothing out of character for him. He should not play anymore tonight. That was just bad.

Nah, I don't think they let you keep booze in the water bottles behind the bench. Coaching this team I'd need to have a few during the game.

Watch these players go elsewhere and somehow magically their individual preparation get better.

Same

Anyone who defended Ward remaining head coach were obviously trolling.

Anyone who defends Ward now just needs to be auto banned.

How she goes sometimes.

We should've been punished like this with our play in Vancouver but things went our way. It caught up with us tonight and rightfully so. They're just capable of so much better top to bottom, we've seen it.

At least they have 20 to try and rewrite the script.

[Enoch Root]

things are so bad right now that I am agreeing with Francis

I agree. The Ritchie experiment worked. Gaudreau could have scored two himself.

But they gave up grade A chances.

Its the Flams way. Trade players away and they become all stars.

[Mattman]

Backlund and Nordstrom are the only guys who haven't been on the ice for a goal against. They also don't play on the same line. Top tier blender we have going on.

I want to apologize for my negativity in the last PGT, but this type of line management, inconsistency, and overall mediocrity from the Flames is why. No one is leading this team from the management to the players, and something's got to give.

I'm sorry, but it's just frustrating to watch as a die-hard fan for this team.

[Manhattanboy]

Something definitely not right with Matthew.

The problem isn’t the demotion it’s starting him on that line to being with

This many games in and Ward has no clue who our wingers are


I’ve never seen a Flames coach this clueless. Including Gulutzan. He is an absolute disaster

[Dion]

Ladies and gentlemen your Calgary Flames!

Then some of those teammates should coast into the sunset somewhere else.

[Infinit47]

I wonder if the other coaches laugh at Ward. Really. They adjust and he just stares off into space. Then juggles healthy scratch wingers around his lineup. They must notice he has no clue what he's doing.

Its as if he has practically no head coaching experience.

[JohnnyB]

The guys who I actually consistently see leading on the ice are Johnny, Markstrom, Mangiapanne, Lucic, Andersson and Tanev. I'm probably missing a couple more, but Tkachuk is definitely not a leader on the ice this season.

[The Boy Wonder]

Can they do a players only meeting in the intermission? Might get us 20 mins of caring
