I disagree. I think he's been much better than that. I don't think he's been amazing but if no one is scoring, a guy who makes great passes is going to have problems. Toffoli misses high about 75% of the time, I don't know what's going on with Lindholm. He doesn't really have many options. Everyone is floating.

Love how Millen is calling our Huby and the other forward on that lazy change which led to a goal.

I think the Sutter experiment has ended. It might not be his fault but the team has just given up listening to him. Sutter seems like the kind of coach that, when things go bad, players don’t want to rally behind.

When your save percentage is in the .700, it doesn’t matter who or how it went it . You suck

Love it Lucic on the 3rd line need goals and Lucic gets the bump. Sutter is just the worst.

It's ok to agree to disagree. I see very little in his game so far. He is the ultimate disappointment for me as a fan, especially considering the expectations.

I know they wanted to shoot more from the back end...but not EVERY shot....

Abosulutely ZERO control of the puck in the O-zone, even during the PPs. This team has no idea how to play together. Dunno if that's players, coaching or what...but they Flames have become entirely unwatchable. I've kinda ceased caring.

Solving issues in Linux is more fun than watching these guys. Ugh.

Sometimes I wonder if management purposely let this stuff go. It seems like some players sign here for the paycheque and to lay back.

This team doesn't stink. Really good underlying construction of players. They're just playing slow and with a lack of urgency. When they start playing better as a team - faster transitions, quicker passing, more anticipation, harder forecheck, better activation of defensemen in the offensive zone, etc...this will be a good team that generates lots of offensive chances

I wouldn’t throw away a Stanley cup winning coach and reigning Jack Adams award winner for this core group. They just aren’t very good.
