At this rate, the Winter Classic is about to become the Paper Bag Classic.

It's not a coaches problem. Talent is there except they have no confidence when making plays.

The gall to even schedule a heritage classic with these teams. Oh wait they thought it would be a healthy McDavid and they would just obliterate us on their turf.

Meanwhile they still gonna win and we will be the tonic for their group to galvanize and pick up their momentum.

Getting booed in your own rink after game eight of the season is probably not a good thing.

Wonder when we’ll start seeing jersey tosses?

It's possible that Huska is a thoughtful guy and is giving the team until after the Edmonton game before he does something (throw a stick?). Maybe after the 10th game next week....?

Dunno really what he can do. Sit Huberdud? Crapdri? Put out the 4th line on the PP? Bring up Wolf (why?). Or maybe Conny just burns off some guys (Hanifin and Lindhlme come to mind) cheap and brings up a bunch of kids who wanna be in the NHL.

During the game today I wonder which was the most boring:
- watching paint dry
- watching grass grow
- watching any of the Flames attemtping to play hockey

(Although I'll give props to Big Z and Coronato for at least trying.)

After his stint as GM and then driving Gaudreau and Tkachuk out of town what can he do in his third time around? Thankfully we have few young prospects that he could ruin.

I mean clearly promoting from within the coaching ranks was the right call for the Flames. Lock this elite talent down before Huska gets poached by another contender.

Third home game.

Poor attendance.

Booed off the ice.

The plan going into this season was terrible. It is playing out exactly how it ought to have.

If you need a reminder how clueless this organization is then just go back and watch John Bean’s presser in the summer. The arrogance and smug condescending nature of his remarks about a rebuild prove to me that this franchise will continue to fail with every single key metric.

To think that a coaching change was the single biggest issue with this group is naive. There was zero emotion tonight and as Zadorov said it’s a collection of individuals who refuse to play as a team.

The fact that they are trying to lock up pieces like Lindholm and Hanafin prove the ineptitude of the people running the show. Are they good pieces? Sure, but this team should be capitalizing on players that can fetch a decent return.

To arrogantly chastise media and fans for questioning a rebuild is the epitome of delusional when it comes to operating an NHL team. If your average fan can recognize when it’s time to start fresh than you would think the “hockey minds” and “experts” would have a sense of realization.

Absolutely embarrassing on so many different levels.
