To be honest.....let's just concede the rest of the year. Tank....sink, die there's no honor ......these guys on this roster for the exception of a few.

If I was on this team I'd have a damn hard time knowing my team mates DGAF anymore.

Yeah...this team has ...
No identity.
No culture
Doesn't care.
What is this showing to the Dubes , Mangiapanes, Phillips, Valimakis , Andersons, Rittichs, Tkachuk on our.roster.???

#### we hate life and games right now!!! How in the flying phuck did we get here????

Fix this NOW!!!!

60 minutes of my day I’m going to want back. Not like the other 23 hours offer much better these days so I’ll put myself through it so I can earn the Boy Scout badge.

Honestly what's the problem here? Watching Valamaki lately he gets hammered all the time and isn't making good decisions. Sitting and watching a game or two from above is a good thing for rookies.

Keep Looch, Hanafin and Tanev.

Trade or cut everyone else.

I've been waiting for Valimaki to be scratched tbh. Just thought it would be Kylington who went in and not Stone.

I went into the season thinking the flames improvement would stem from growth of the young guys. Dube, valimaki, Andersson....

Not so much

One game at time! I don't post in GDT, so I'm trying to do something for winning. If it doesn't work, I'll try to buy 50/50 tickets, and if that is not working I'll try bet against Flames as I never win lottos.

Oh I agree there is no harm in trying and Darryl has to work with what he has on the roster. Brad has built a beer league roster and Stone's skillset is interchangeable with most of Sutter's options on the backend. So when you don't have a lot of options to pick from because it is an area of organizational weakness, you go with the horses you got. So I am fine with Stone being in.

Sometimes I wonder if we would have even found a gem like Stone without the Arizona connection. That is one reason why I think they may look at Botterill to be the new GM. He may know of some hidden gems like Stone from his old job that most of the league would not be looking at.

Not surprised with Dube being out of the lineup

After listening to Sutter's post game speech,

My guess one of the players was Dube

Guy brought in to direct a coach killing roster sending a message.

Was bound to happen in my mind.

This wasn't a coaching issue, the coaching upgrade is nice, but the team if flawed and he's making sure the younger players get lessons and avoid following the herd.
