I think we all know this team isn’t very good, but at some point you have to question the team’s preparation to start games. Being down early all the time is hard to overcome in this league. The coaching staff and Huska in particular should be feeling the heat. You can’t be down this many times in a row and not wonder about the coaching competence. This should not happen.

It's a little soul-draining how predictable their early game struggles are this season.

As well as how inept and stationary the PP is.

Would be lovely to get a change of pace in those areas one of these days. These games aren't worth tuning in for until the back half and 9/10 times they're trying to overcome a deficit.

How do you go a whole month playing really good exciting hockey and then turn right back into this junk?

I think it's more than fair to question why Huska changed the way they played defense, and since their heralded switch from man-on-man to a zone defense they are far worse defensively with the same personnel.

Did Rasmus skate really hard on that icing as a protest?

Flames game plan: weak wrist shot from the point, give the puck away, put in a solid 20% effort.

Three checkmarks across the board.

They knew the Hurricanes would come out flying tonight. There’s no excuse not to be ready for this one. This team is so frustrating.

These players are coach killers.

No one is the guy right now. If what we are hopefully trending into is a rebuild or retool on the fly then it doesn’t matter.

I missed the second goal on Wolf.
He had no chance on the first goal, but how was the second?
2 goals on 10 (or fewer) shots isn't a great.

Sounded like the Saddledome Hotel in there that period. 17,000 people sleeping.

Hopefully Lanny can wake everyone up.

another tip after a brutal turnover. Not as unsaveable as the first goal though

Second goal was a bullet from Orlov. 2 goals on 11 shots, par fo rht e course?
