Gotta play the guys that got you here.

Even though a few of them have been scratched. Multiple times. In a row.

as Bingo said, maybe once the team turns the corner, but after this season? geez
In my mind he should win the Adams trophy for getting the bad news bears this close to the playoffs.

The current group got us to game 79 still with an outside shot at getting in.

Give them some credit.

"Fire Huska because he didn't play Parekh tonight!"

No, Canadian fans aren't impatient.

I don’t think Huska is going anywhere soon.
I will also say, I don’t think he’s at fault, or to be celebrated for the performance of this team. We are bottom/bottom middle in a lot of categories and that is expected because of lack of talent we have. He has coached the team into low event hockey and that is to I think both our benefit and detriment. It’s lowered chances against but has also neutered our offence to 31st out of 32 teams. Also our special teams performance is poor to mediocre on both fronts. We also have been incredibly lucky with all of our comebacks this year, a lot of our overtime losses and some of our wins should be losses, as I think for a team of this calibre this comeback performance will not be repeatable year over year.

We are near the playoffs imo not because of Huska but because of our goalies and I think a lot of people will agree.
If anything, I actually think he deserves some criticism for some of the roster and lineup decisions, specifically in overtime he has had a couple of weird choices.

Regarding Zayne, he may or may not be ready, but this team desperately needs what he can potentially provide. I think the pros of playing him much outweigh the negatives, especially when compared against Miromanov or Jake Bean, who have not been good lately. Huska’s job simply is to deliver wins, not to make people happy. I think the players would understand playing Parekh over these guys and I think even Miro or Jake themselves would like a chance to compete in the playoffs.

"probably ALSO get upset about...." Nobody is upset about the meme it just doesn't make much sense when the subject isn't playing. Maybe if you put Bean in the meme it works.

Flames are 9th in the NHL in save percentage...I think its unfair to give the goalies 100% credit especially lately. Team has legit played well the last month or so. Realize it took the 10th place team a 12 game win streak to get what will likely be a 2-3 point lead on the Flames in the end.

At no point in that post did I say anyone was upset. I implied they would be the type to get upset at a comedian.

I’m sorry that you are the way that you are lol.

And it drives me crazy. "safe is death" and the Flames have a coach that will take no risk and is safe to a fault.
Kerins isn't even playing C on the Wrangers; is that on Huska, too?
