Oh well. Flames are pretty traditional in how they bring in young guys. They almost never play them the first game up.

It will eventually catch up them, management can either accelerate the rebuild by trading some key vets or they can let resist it and just let it fester for years to come.

And was never going to happen so why keep complaining about it?

Something good was about to happen, finally we had a chance at a top pick. Then they decide to become the hottest team in the league over the last month.

Flames fans just really cannot have nice things, ever.

Very little chance Kadri or Coleman get traded now. Wouldn't be shocked if they re-sign Andersson for big money too.

I didn't realize tonight was game 82 and that the top lottery odds would be decided after tonight.

"They decided".

You think they were just playing possum in the first month?

They got two lucky goals in this game

We had Gaudreau and Tkachuk ( and could not keep them)

The Flames are already too good to out-tank the Preds, Canucks, Sabres, etc. What more evidence do you need than what you're seeing tonight?

It's not just the goals. The Flames are outplaying them by quite a bit.

They have barely the third worst winning percentage with more games played than every team but St.Louis in the bottom 5.

You need to relax. The season isn't even half over.

Flames have traded:

Markstrom
Toffoli
Lindholm
Hanafin
magiapane
Tanev
Zadarov

They missed the playoffs WITH these players. They traded ALL of them and STILL missed the playoffs and didn't bottom out.

What makes your think that trading 3 more players will make the team bottom out this time?

Perhaps, the team just isn't as bad as you think/want it to be.

The beginning of the season was a mirage brought about by a scheduling fiasco. The recent stretch is more in line with this team's abilities.

I thought you were taking a break?

So this may have been posted elsewhere...I don't know.

But I heard on the radio today that the Flames at home have...

The#1 save %

The number 1 GAA

And tied for #1 in shutouts.

I think the goaltending part of things is ok.

In your opinion. Let's let the season play out before losing our #### about not getting a lottery pick.

[Toonage]

“What is happening with the Sabres?” Asks Hrudey lol

Got a minute?

And I thought you were watching the game. I guess you get more enjoyment in being a POS.
