AH, I said that before any links were even posted


I gave it to you though...CGY12 SAID GIO SHOULD BE TRADED AT THE TIME TOO AND NOT JUST NOW


I am not wrong though...how many players on the team have you honestly not suggested should be traded? 5 tops

Well you can dig up the history since you like doing that or previously liked doing that. Monahan would have been the main source of attention from my point of view. Gio was brought up strictly cause of his high value.

Yeah we're awesome for wanting to cheer for a winning team and hoping to win a championship. If that's the case, please tell me these steps in reality that you know about? And which teams were discussed in trading? The only reality I look at is our core is the same, our core is declining, our team is trending downwards. That's reality and I don't see anything different.

was up early but what am I missing here

Which one of us made the mistake in those two posts?

Says the guy that literally just searched up old post history to prove himself right

You said it I give you that

Value at the time and how it would have made a difference today is debatable. Heck Gio could still be traded or even be a good expansion draft shield

You did, Kipper is not a Captain who won a major award with the Flames

although I appreciate the memory


I said "this isn't Vancouver" because they are the only clowns that would name a goalie as captain

Well, I guess the takeaway is that Geoff Ward did as well as he could have with what he had to work with.

Didn't search it up, I couldn't go beyond 100 posts. Mathgod was king enough to point me in the direction and find me that post.

What a great thread that was! I remember being raked over the coals for this beauty. Hmmm, now look where we are.

I actually don’t think that is correct at all, and would wholeheartedly disagree

The team is behaving differently, has cleaned up defensively (except for failing to be perfect at critical times), and is making absolutely atrocious decisions with the puck offensively.

Some of these offensive decisions seem to be explainable by them latching on to the advice they remember from Sutter while under pressure

They are a different kind of tentative (and apparently stupid) but it’s also a result of all games, no practice.

You guys have the same arguments every season.
I think it's about time you just admit he was right.

You believed in this team and they failed you, its ok.

At first I was thinking it was just me that needed to see the optometrist but now I’m wondering if there aren’t others.

Like I said earlier...its pretty easy to predict failure in a 31 soon to be 32 team league where 8 of 31 get past the first round and only 1 wins so congrats

A different flavor of bad, still just as bad.

Well, different GM next season. I think I'll be watching Carolina rest of the season.

Yeah I suppose we both do...I thought you originally said I need to see the opto...maybe its just all these tears in my eyes

Just incredible. You should apply and try and work for the Flames, you'd fit right into the mediocre culture they got going. Sorry fans, only 1 team wins the cup and only 8 get past the 1st round, so sucking and never making it out of the 1st round should be more acceptable lol.

Oh, it’s bad. The kind of thing you expect to work through in a 82 game season, and sadly I don’t see a path to success this season, given the past few games.

I do expect another chapter but time is running out

Painful for local fans because it’s the year all the Canadian teams play each other so bragging rights are on the line


But ... out of curiosity.. Carolina? Why Carolina?

Never said that...at all

just saying you have MANY outcomes that make you "right"

Flames would have to be at least top 8 to make anyone positive last year "right" and even that would only be so so unless they were top 4 or better



not sure what more you want me to do...should I erect a shrine with your name...

"guy says team will fail and they do!"

the prophecy is true! go pick some lotto numbers quick

I guess I didn’t clarify who I meant, and honestly it may or may not have been intentional.
