The dome should boo at the first line when the first period ended. How can they claim to be a NHL hockey player?

Fan sentiment is a concern. I guess what I’m getting at is the fans don’t owe ownership anything at this point. Perhaps apathy is setting in because there’s no direction.

In all seriousness, who was your pick for head coach?

I was fully on the Andrew Brunette train. The Flames dragged their feet though and Nashville scooped him up. I would have been fine with giving Mitch Love a shot. I said all along ABH. Anyone but Huska.

Because Flames are trying to out Oilers the Oilers.

A whole line identifies as one player?
I'm outraged.

Mike Babcock so we could see all the snow parties on the players phones.

Actually the fans owe ownership about half a billion dollars give or take.

The real fail was extending players well before we knew how this roster would fit together.
Now in a position it’s really hard to recover from.

Just speculating but I don't think those three get along too well. Not too much bro vibes between them. Or should I say any.

Maybe, right now, Huberdeau is giving a ten star speech that really corrects everything!
But it's in French and lost on the team

I actually feel bad for Huska. Give him a terrible team and expect him to make the playoffs. Impossible task. He has nothing to work with on this team. His top paid player looks like an AHLer.

Trade everyone you can. Let those two spend the rest of eternity on the 4th line for 8 minutes a night. Make sure to tell them that this is their fault.

Yes, the team is so terrible almost every media pundit had them as a playoff team.
Huska is garbage.
