Bench Lucic, he adds nothing at this point.
Which were the other three minutes?

Point % wise, it’s not looking likely that they’ll be a playoff team. So your take seems…reasonable.

…but there’s always the chance we could sneak in! Then anything could happen! We may even get bounced in the first round by a much stronger team! That sky is our limit!…or whatever

where are our expectations at exactly?

doesn't sound like a team in its "window" at all

I thought the huberdeau extension, Kadri signing and sutter extension were for the purpose of competing over the next 3 years

they look 2 steps behind last years team .. forget about offense, I mean in their 200 foot play

also generally slower in pace

if there isn't another gear here we're best served giving young players a shot and taking the L for the elite players in the next draft

they look like they don't have the right mix of players as is, which is exactly why we need to look at options like Phillips

This isn't a playoff team.

Imagine if we got Bedard. He would be a healthy scratch for size.

At least Johnny didn’t get a point?

Killing all 7 penalties shows we can still play defense, so how about they stop giving up odd man rushes?!

Huberdeau-lindholm-toffoli is just not a good 5 v 5 line. It's ok, we just need to try different combos. Personally I think toffoli-lindy are not a good match.

Unfortunately, i think Johnny and chucky were the heart of the Flames' offense last season. And if we hope to get back that success we need Huby to get going

This game showed how weak the strength of schedule argument is. The Flames need to get themselves going, the schedule will not carry them to success.

I find it hard to believe that at this point in the season anyone could look at this team and be very happy with how they’ve played and ruminate on the quality of their opponents. Hopefully their play improves, I could not care less about the schedule.

You’re right, good teams don’t beat every single bad team. But they usually show up. Columbus dressed an AHL defense tonight.

Yeah I’m sure finishing 6th or 8th in the west and getting trounced first round is an exciting future. Then we can draft 18th again and draft another player we won’t play because we’d rather play random 35 year old retread #8.

would be a waste of 8 days at this rate

the wranglers probably beat the Flames tonight, without Phillips and zohorna

I mean it's a pretty bad take...Flames are likely to be a playoff team despite the very poor effort tonight

we use vladar as the number 1 and hopefully Marky can steal a game or two and we make the playoffs. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
