It’s basically absurd to think people can’t improve their skating

Not as easy as you make it out to be. A lot of it is genetics.

Some people have slow twitch muscle fibers...some have fast twitch.

Yes, you can improve skating style but it is very very difficult to overcome genetic deficits.

Oh no.

I'm getting shades of the Jim Playfair era already. Poor Huska, he's already DOA.

I recall the story from back when Darryl Sutter was interviewed for the Head Coach position the first time with the Flames. He had compiled a binder filled with player evaluations of the Flames organization.

I imagine history repeated itself.

Right, but if you’re Already physically gifted enough to be a $7M hockey player at age 21, and your dad is a legend in the game, and your brother is also a 1st round pick, you’ve probably got the genes.

No, he still has to clear the COVID protocols. He's expected to be cleared on Monday. First practice on Tuesday.

Huska will run the bench this weekend.

Darryl just needs to give COVID his patented Stink-Eye and he'll be good to go.

None of the three are known for speed. Speed was my point.

That is genetic, IMO.

Did you watch Keith Tkachuk play? He definitely does not have the genes.

Let's see some success before we worry about succession.



But, if I had to pick, I'd definitely choose Roman Roy. Considering the speech he gave to the Hearts (or was it the Hibs?) he just might be the best coach since Crispy.

It’s been years since I’ve made a point to tune into a regular season Flames game. I’ll be doing that tomorrow.

Can’t reiterate it enough. FINALLY. A coach that has a winning resume, relevant to the last decade. No more bargain bin “leadership”.

It may well be, but it didn’t stop Keith from being dominant. It hasn’t really stopped Matthew from being effective either, this weird season not withstanding.

Like Jagr said to Treliving “lots of guys go to the wrong places fast. I go to the right places.”

My initial reply was based on the ability to improve skating , specifically speed.

Big fan of Tkachuk.
