At least Gulutzan had fancy stats to show for it. Ward has nothing.
We must be leading the league in FBB2ITFP

(Falling behind by two in the first period)

Gallant is in PEI I think... don't think he'd have the same quarantine issues as Boudreau...

Lindholm is a natural 30 Goal man on the RW, but I agree, now that he is unable to play RW we do not have a lot of options.

I guess this is what you meant. I understood trying Lindholm at center, but yeah I think they can let go of the death grip on that theory. At least these lines all worked very well at one point.

Optimistically I’m going to hope the Flames rally for BSD & Zag, have their best period of the year, and start a winning streak. Maybe Gawdin getting more ice time can provide some spark up the middle of the ice.

What does it take to get an inexperienced basement bargain coach fired? Ward has taken the Flames from a league leader in puck possession to a bottom feeder, in spite of a huge upgrade in goaltending. If Ward can’t see that what he’s doing isn’t working, he’s not fit to coach in the NHL, and if Treliving can’t see that, it’s time for him to go, too.

This goes beyond coaching. This team started showing signs of this, in mid 2919. This core too

You can't win or score much playing this way. No team will.

Someone finally getting canned for this will be such a relief. I just hope it's soon.
You might hate hearing this but Tre is going to get canned. This franchise is too cheap to hire an actual coach.

We go through coaches like we do goalies.

Eichel aint coming here. Why would he want to leave one tire fire just to join another?

If they dont come out flying this 3rd period.. Hits, scrums, emotion, anything... Then what? Im so looking forward to this game between the sens since all other North division teams had a piece of the pie but we cant even get crums tonight.

Ooof, I wouldn't expect a spark from Gawdin. He's playing suuuper safe.

I'm keen to see what Zags has, maybe a chance to dangle Ritter to get some trades done.

I'm sad to hear you still still have any optimism left.

The Flames have scored 5 5v5 goals in their last 6 games (including tonight).

In those 6 games, they have faced:

- Braden Holtby
- Mike Smith
- Mikko Koskinen
- Michael Hutchinson x2
- Matt Murray

Death row of goaltenders. Nothing they can do against such brilliance.

Thank you, Geoff Ward.

My buddy who's a sens fan just sent me a text:

"My wife left me, my dog died and I got fired...but at least I'm not a Flames fan!"
