That's the problem. Coaches keep just trying to play safe and boring hockey and hope it turns around offensively.

Wish we had a coach that had more of a "safe is death" approach.

We have seen over 1.25 seasons that Huska won't make those types of changes.

I think we probably had one in Marc Savard, and that’s why he isn’t here anymore.

You don’t hire Marc Savard and have him exit the org the way he did a year later without some disagreements on the bench.

Wolf is fun. At least one elite guy hits the ice in red silks every other game.

I'm just here for Wolf, Coronato and Zary (the future).

Didn't Kuzmenko single handedly make our PP one of the most dangerous for 6 weeks?

Where's he been this season.

You have to have a little bit of movement to make it harder on the defense. Everyone just standing still on PP all the time.

Huska said it again this week "just need to simplify and get shots from the point with traffic"... just no creativity at all and nobody willing to actually attack a defender and it's what the coaches are preaching.

Good power plays work because guys actually are willing to attack a defender to create a bigger miss match down low and the Flames never do that.
The only shots were when Huberdeau got tired of having no pass recipients and just shot from the middle

Near the boards. Not bringing the puck to the net like before.

I can't remember the last time I saw a one timer from this band of muppets on PP.

What is the solution here?

I would like to see Sharkey and Coronato doing one-timers from their off wings. Make the opponent pay if they want to block those shots.

The only guy I trust to hold the puck and find space is Zary. Huby, no.

Who can we trust as our quarterback on D?

Absolutely infuriating!

That’s why when people say they don’t think this is a bottom team, I disagree. The reputation these players have is attached to performance from years in the rear view mirror. They’re awful.

Also, this is awful hockey. Playing for loser points.
