He’s always been a slasher, but he’s quick and gets away with it.

It’s not the losing. It’s how they lose.
That, and watching Kadri and Huby piss their careers away in exchange for a guaranteed paycheck. When they close the book, these years will probably over shadow their other achievements.
One gets a ring, the other a record, followed by 7-8 years of being bottom tier players. Do people care about that?

This is what’s most concerning about the “tank” strategy. In this market, tickets need to be sold.
So far this year we’ve had 2 sellouts.the season opener and the oilers fans buying tickets.
I worry what happens after a couple of years of this effort
For bench mark purposes, I think we are averaging about 85% capacity right now (as per NHL.COM)

Do they even have any pride?

Anemic offense. But Vladar not helping out tonight.
Bowness is great on the panel. 2700 games coaching brings some insight.

I didn't say "easy", but apparently I did say "winnable". 4 winnable games. Or just 4 losses.

I expect Tuesday to sell out as well with the Gaudreau fam in town.

Let’s assume they all could be put on waivers.
You lose Coleman and Sharky for nothing instead of getting value from them.
You are stuck with the rest.
Nice managing.

This team ####ing sucks. Why didn't we just tank like we were supposed to?

That might be the laziest penalty I've seen

Wonder if the Flames will try to break the shutout? Probably not. These are stupid penalties guys.

Yep, I'd have a better chance of winning lotto 6/49 tonight than the Flames have of scoring a goal. And I didn't even buy a ticket.

Calgary now has a goal differential of -8.
The last place team in the league, the Hawks, are only -10.
So yes, the tank is on.

It’s not too late. If they keep playing like this, they aren’t winning more than 10-15 games for the rest of the season.

No team can #### up a 2 on 1 like the Flames can.
