Not having Monahan hurts. Strange watching JG without him.

Is it possible Ward has no idea how terrible a coach he is? Would explain quite a lot.

Execution has been a problem all season long. The talent is there but for whatever reason they lack the polish to pucks in the net.

No one probably wants to hear from me tonight. But tkachuk cheering on Bennett during that fight should speak volumes. There’s been lots of rumblings around the top 2 players in Calgary. Perhaps it’s time to move on.

Don’t expect them to

They have brains / survival instincts
Oh yeah, they won’t. They spend time with the team. I get that. Just drunk and frustrated.

The other thing is, beyond Ward not being able to adapt to how other teams play us, he makes absolutely zero effort to attack the other team's weakness.


The Oilers have a putrid D. So maybe we should be more aggressive in the forcheck as a means of generating offense. Oh god no. That's not THE PLAN.

Ward not capable to adapt to anything. When team traps he has no clue how to break the trap.

It was a stupid play and i'm sure Backlund knows it. All players are guilty of this but I don't see a connection to the mentality of this team. He was trying to help this team win a game.

Everyone knows you break through the trap by caring more.
