I know. That’s why I bought an ironic Huby jersey.
He’s a classic, so had to be the Heritage Classic edition.

6 goals. Yikes! Oh well, that was a really disgusting road trip. Head home and don't embarrass yourselves on Tuesday.

And it should have been successful.

They don't have much of a margin.
Clearly.
They choked that one away, after the only lead of the trip.
Refs decided the Wings game.
Emotional game and fell behind early vs CLB.
Exhausted and defeated tonight. Our "young stars" nowhere to be found.

The NHL is not a development league

Coronato, Zary, Sharangovich has all the same amount of time as Kuzmenko and 3 minutes more than Rooney. Rooney had 1 shot, the other three guys had 2 combined.
If the argument is that this is the type of games that show if your young guys have what it takes, they failed.
Kadri and Huberdeau combined for 10 shots.

Flames should have been up 2-0. For sure 1-0. Pops misses a wide open net.
Might have been a different game.

Regardless of the late games, Calgary is officially out of a playoff spot based on winning %.

At the end of the day, the very most important thing is that they had fun

My read from Conroy is that they will try and make the playoffs. They want to contend.

Contend for what? They are much closer to being the worst team in the league than a playoff team.
Take away elite goaltending and we are at the bottom.

I think Vladar's SPCT went down 5 or 6 points.

Bottom-3 payroll team is bottom-3 team over a full season.

Man, the Flames have certainly come back down to earth with a loud thud this week.
That's ok. This is what we all expected going into the season, and as much as I hate to see them lose, it's only going to help the team down the road.

Flames lose alot= better draft pick. Isn’t this the math that most expected?

The Flames aren't as good as they appeared to be in the 1st 20 games but they aren't as bad as they have looked on this trip either.
They certainly arent bottom 3 of the NHL bad.
They are in an epic offensive drought right now that will see a correction to some degree.
The goaltending has kind of regressed at the same time to make it seem like they are among the worst in the game, but both wont last forever.
