When are they going to let the kids have a go in the NHL?

Feels like even if Brad recalls them, Darryl would just scratch them.

It's the Sutter system. This team is not built to play dump and chase and ring it around the boards. This is playing to their weakness. Warned people against Sutter and it has come to fruition. Dinosaur hockey that is ineffective and boring as #### to watch.

Oilers posters on here will tell you it was an important game so their best players had to be out there.

Great on the goal. But overall way less effective than Thursday. And while it’s great he was aggressive, they could have used him on the ice for 4 more minutes IMO.

Season over.

Game was tight. 5 on 5 I thought we were better. Their PP scored and ours didn’t. That’s the difference.

Don’t know what the plan was on the 6 on 5 but giving it away to them and allowing 2 empty net goals was counter productive and grossly inflated the score.

Mike Smith is a first class ######. Hate him. His inevitable collapse is coming soon.

If you could trade Monahan for a literal bag of pucks I would take it. His cap space is more valuable than he is at this point, there's no more such thing as selling low.

I get why people want to see them. But do we really want their NHL initiation to be on such a sad and losing team?

Maybe some of the so-called injured players, such as Tanev and maybe Monahan, will be shut down.

Not only do I want Brad gone I want everyone not named Sutter in coaching and management fired.

That includes Conroy, Gelinas, Maloney etc. All connections to this dumpster fire. Gone.

Why the hell would you keep Sutter around?

Well, it is inevitable for them to have such an initiation. Unless they don't step on the ice for the next few years. This team built by Treliving and co. is destined to be sad and losing for years to come.

Here comes the monotone Mcdingus post game interview ‘uh, yeah,
We did a good job and got pucks deep. Ummm, yeah, let’s go’.
Must be a treat at parties.

In fairness, the Flames practically look like the 70s Habs in comparison to the Heat. Stockton went 3-15-2 down the stretch.

Neither environment is ideal... but the Heat are done, anyway. And NHL action is NHL action.

This is such a silly comment.

Playing big minutes on bad teams has never been detrimental to development.

Not playing, on the other hand, has.

You're right, this stretch with a legit head coach has been too much. We should probably bring back Geoff Ward.

Who are these kids? I don't think there is anyone on the farm that moves the needle in any meaningful direction.
