I made that up, but preseason losses really do mean nothing.

It's how they're losing is the problem.

100% true, however seeing them look so absolutely terrible in a game where players are playing for a job does not bode well for this team.

I can not get over the signing of that pylon. Big mistake for BT, just baffling.
Anyway I'm turning 960 off at this point.

Honestly there are huge problems in Calgary management. There had to be one effing guy who stepped up and said Gudbranson had been awful his entire career, why we giving him $2 million? Like who are the pro scouts? How do they have a job?

Losing by giving their prospects the lions share of the minutes?

I still have no idea why on God's green earth Gudbranson deserved a $2 million contract. This is exactly the kind of player you invite on a PTO, but Brad decided for whatever reason to just hand that money out because he could? Godawful management.

Truculent!

Lol.
Ok, it's preseason game 1. But there's a good chance Gudbranson ends up the worst player to EVER play for the Flames.
He's SHOCKINGLY bad.

Pro scouts are really a problem but I think they have one, so that is on Tre

This feels like Chris Butler all over again. Hopefully doesn't last as long.

At least the Yankees look like they will sweep the Red Sox tonight.

Clearly the two refs are Oiler fanboys. 6 powerplays for the Oilers. 1 for the Flames.

It may or it may not. It's the first pre-season game, and each of these players is focused on doing what the coaches have asked of them. We will see what comes of it.

He's not even close to as good as Butler, he's another Grossmann.

It's 100% on BT. Every fan in the league knows how bad Gudbranson is.
