Just got back home literally 30 minutes ago from the airport. My mother, sister and I had to fly down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last Monday on an emergency basis because my dad ended up in the ICU and on life support while vacationing by himself down there.

Doctors were absolutely shocked and amazed at how hard is body was fighting to stay alive despite having next-to-no-blood in it (hemoglobin was at a 3). I guess whereas his blood would be easy to find back here in Canada, 90%+ of Mexicans weren't a match for my dad. However, we were able to find 15-20 blood donors (tourists & locals) in 2 days just from the incredible outreach via Facebook posts.

Even though only 7-8 of them ended up being perfect matches, we got the blood my dad needed, the surgeons were able to perform a successful endoscopy to find & stop the bleeding, and they went from just trying to keep him alive while we got there, to giving us only a 20% hope, to 50/50 after the endoscope, and now my dad's back walking, talking and basically back to normal minus some delirium/confusion and a physically weak body. Got a med-vac back home to Calgary today after we were able to find a hospital room for him, and while he's not fully outta the woods yet, an absolute miracle took place over the last week.
That’s insane. Glad he recovered.

You're not going to ever convince professional athletes to just roll over and lose games.
That winning culture got us the 6th overall pick last time.

You win when you win. When you get the right elite talent they will carry you win. There is no mentorship program for winning.

Lack of legit goal scorers I would say.

I think Coleman naturally regressing and Sharangovich dissappearing were too tough to overcome. The rest of the roster more or less did what was expected of them.

Literally the only way that puck isn't touching the goal line is if it were actually in the shape of a ####ing hexagon as it appears in the camera's low resolution garbage quality shot.

Because the puck is actually a circle, you know it's fully inside the goal:

What’s wrong with what he said
Don’t we all agree the roster isn’t good enough?

The NFL has now changed how to measure / see if a ball crossed the 1st down line

Clearly the NHL needs to get this right

But it's a bad, rebuilding team so it's to be expected. Over the next few years the Flames will need major offensive upgrades to be any kind of contender. It's a long ways away.

He’s right.

How can anyone look at the roster and lay the blame at Huskas feet. It’s wild. We have 3 waiver pickups on the backend.

This team is a long ways away from competing year in and year out.

The roster is terrible, in my opinion. Bottom 3 bad on paper.

Not yet anyway.

Wonder what would have happened with a full season of Mantha.

I really don't feel like this is over.

Rangers just really need to win that game tomorrow.
Only 1 game in hand on the Wild

I would run it back with him for another go if he’s healthy

I think goaltending and defense aren’t an organizational problem.

Goal scorers are needed big time though
