The lack of emotion this season is a a concern. No emotion, not a lot of winning, boring to watch. Not great.

Season is far from over, but man, they need to play like a team that cares.

Vladar was bad.

Sutter needs to go. Honestly watching this style of hockey sucks. Its all perimeter pass along the boards with low danger shots on net. We gotta be the easiest team to defend its the same thing every time we have offensive possesion. Who wants to pay to watch this BS?

Here's something we can do that shouldn't be difficult.

Scratch Lucic, Ritchie, and Stone.

Play Ruzicka, Duehr, and Gilbert.

for starters.

Probably the better team for the first 30 minutes quite easily - but once again nothing to show for it with the score 2-2, and then an epic collapse by the team in the last 5 minutes of the second period made the score 4-2 and it was game over.

Two tap in goals that Vladar had no chance on made the game go from 2-2 to 4-2 in a snap.

Vladar wasn't great either. The 1st, 2nd, and 5th goals were all savable.

Overall though the team really just doesn't have that spark. And once they are trailing by 2 goals it's game over.

Speed kills this slow ass team. The sad part is that the future looks even worse. Sutter lost the room and even he looks checked out. Never thought I’d see Darryl Sutter give up and just collect his paycheque..

What gets me is the lack of heart at the end. How many chances did the Wings have in the last few minutes? They were first on every puck.

Sad pathetic team is bad. Zero effort, all passengers, poor decisions, bad goaltending, soft as baby poo defence, anemic offence.

Pack it up boys, this season is lost. Sell everything and anything that can get more than a 7th round pick.

Playing the entire Wranglers roster right now would be more entertaining than watching this group of overpaid underachieving losers skate around aimless in their own zone, and fire pucks either 4 feet wide or directly into the goalie chest in the offensive zone.

5 years ago New York Rangers management penned a letter to their fans about a rebuild. Everyone laughed at that. Now the Rangers are a top team with an extremely bright future. I think I'm ready for that letter.

And for the love of #### please fire Bradley. I don't think I've ever seen a GM have such a long leash for mediocre/crappy hockey. Next year would be his 10th season and what does he have to show for it? Like 10 playoff wins? Bring in a new guy and go scorched earth. One thing the Flames don't have to worry about is getting the cap floor with some of the boat anchors they have on this team.

That’s what a five game winning streak looks like.

That’s how you lock down a lead.

That’s how you minimize chances against.

That’s how you get decent goaltending.

That’s how you play with passion and effort.

That’s how you play with speed.

Too bad we’re not even close to that.

Are we 10 points up or 10 points down by now? Asking for someone who wants to see some players from the AHL who might actually put in an effort.

Not yet, have to wait and watch the old guns for a bit longer.

Didn't expect Sutter to be this bad behind the bench this season

He's tone deaf in front of the mic and brain dead in his decisions/lack thereof

You can't tell me he's playing at a bigger game from what we've seen. I just don't think this guy's playing chess anymore. I think he's stubbornly just punishing a group of guys perpetually since October, who aren't understanding what he wants out of them

If ownership wants to honour their own MO of playoffs, they'll have to cut him loose

At this rate, keeping him might land us a top 10-12 pick. These guys are tuned out

What's the one constant over these past 33 years? It's not the players, it's not the coaches, and it sure as heck aint the management.
