Flames have generated some good chances and shown some creativity at 5v5 IMO though.

I'd love to see Zary, Wolf, and Poirier up here though.

Yeah we've been OK and it unfortunately got out of hand in that period, but the difference in skill has been apparent most games so far this season. But, hopefully we can come back in this game. Only 3-1.

Oh good… Others hear it as well…

This team is not good enough to win if our starting goalie is going to allow one terrible goal every game.

I still have no clue what Huska is trying to have this team be good at.

Trying so hard to be patient, but it really seems like having the assistant coach and assistant GM fail upwards was a bad "plan". .

When it came out that Huska's selling point to Conroy was a switch of the coverage system in the d-zone, and that's pretty much it, I knew this might backfire.

Defensive coach doing a defensive things wasn't going to create more goal scoring at the other end.

And bringing in an ex-player who's body of work is in the OHL wasn't going to be the key to lighting it up either.

You get what you pay for, and this team went cheap to get out from under Darryl's iron fist.

Good on you. I lover to see that but need to open my bottle of blue label

[dino7c]

Flames have allowed 2 PP goals and a softie 4 on 4

their defensive structure is not an issue tonight IMO

Its 1-0 Flames 5 on 5

The Flames would have been much better off holding on to Toffoli until the trade deadline. Getting a 3rd round pick and a bottom six forward is an absolutely brutal return for the team's leading scorer last season and only trigger man the team had on the powerplay.

Huby came out on fire that first pre-season game... then he took that knee on knee and I just don't think he's been the same since. Maybe I'm crazy and just looking for excuses

This is one of those times where I hope you're spitting truth.

Once again, any pro scouts that thought it was a good idea for THIS team to rid themselves of their best goal scorer should be fired. No idea what this team was thinking if they are trying to compete.

The Flames are utterly lost in the defensive zone. Not one player on the entire roster has looked consistently good at rotebt end of the ice. This team's was leaps and bounds better under Sutter. That's on the coaches.

And being where we are without closure on our biggest UFAs, not to mention still trying to sign them for too much money, is entirely on Conroy.

[dino7c]

Toffoli wanted a long term deal or wanted a trade

they made the right call

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

They'd better commit to Huska for better or worse. Do not try to get back into the bubble conversation with some hail mary. Let them be a lottery team!

[Ferarri]

I wonder if Maloney and Conroy actually believe in this team or if they are handcuffed by ownership. How can you watch this and think there is anyone worth re-signing?

Conny isn't gonna trade any picks. He said he wants to focus on building through the draft

[Sandman]

It's the 7th game of the season folks, step away from the ledge. They are learning a new system!!!

RELAX.
