I watch for the young players on the team. Which is consistent with wanting to tank for more exciting youth.

Do you want a ribbon for being a better Flames fan? Unfortunately, Dino already has the #1 fan trophy.

I feel like alot of people on here want a ribbon or trophy for cheering for a team the "right way".

Great game and result tonight! Team tank!

Loving the way Andersson is playing.


Just over a PPG in the last 16 games played. Logging over 23 mins a game while +3 and shooting the puck a ton.


Cheap contract. Flames can retain. Should bring in an absolute haul.

Also, great coaching in the 3rd by Huska….

You're really gonna love this then... Hanley (97.06%) and Brzustewicz (96.98%) led all players tonight in xGF%. The next closest Flame was Coleman (62.83%), the highest Red Wing was Debrincat (63.79%).

They were, but his lateral movement isn't as good as Wolf's

really impressed with Brz and here's hoping that he takes a spot like Kuzy did once Ras is traded (or sooner).

If you are cheering for wins that is great, cheering for your fav team to win and nothing wrong with that. If you are cheering for losses there is nothing wrong with that either because you want a future where the team can make a run at a Cup. Neither choice should be attacked. Be a fan the way you want to be a fan.

[Enoch Root]

Yeah, really solid game from Brzustewicz, I would think he stays in for next game

[Inferno]

I gave up after 2-0 but 4-3 is atleast respectable.

You're right, it isn't, but Cooley also got hung out to dry more than a few times.

[Kidder]

I’m still team tank but trying not to hate the success lately and enjoy their good hockey.

We can all agree there’s no benefit getting blown out 6-0 and showing no pushback.

The third was perfect. Great hockey from the Flames and they made it close and while I prefer the zero points would have been cheering a late tying goal.

[Locke]

I was cheering for a late tying goal. You draw back from 4-0 to 4-3 then that is an effort I will always get behind.

Speaking of 'get behind' they need to cut that out. Dropping 2 right off the hop does not help.

Huska said it was "one line and one pair" that didn't show up to start the game. Kadri's line and the Raz-Bahl pairing, I believe.

Think of it like everyone wants 45-55 win seasons, but some would rather continue with 30-40 win seasons while hoping for the best... others are pointing at the previous 40 years of 30-40 win seasons with nothing to show for it, and are suggesting maybe we should try out one of those 20-30 win seasons and see if that doesn't help us get to where we want to be.

I mean, it's not like we can't go back to winning 30-40 games again, if it doesn't work out. It doesn't seem like it's that difficult to do.

Weegar was a little sleepy early too....but thankfully woke up.

[Burning Beard]

Brz looked like he fit right in. I hope he sticks like Kuznetsov. He made a couple of smart pinches and plays at the line. I think Parekh is going to look a lot better now that the team has found a bit of a groove and it isn't as much of a gong show.

[dammage79]

Hearing BRZ having a solid game should hopefully alleviate concerns about the how much of a drop off it will be when Rasmus is eventually traded. Flames have a nice baked in D corps coming at the right time.

Brz showed a lot of poise for just his second game. Coming into the league as Zary did.

Would be interesting if see if they move Weegar up wirh Bahl and maybe try Brz and Kuznetov since they have played a bunch together in the AHL.

maybe Hanley with Weegar and Parekh with Bahl then? Pachal/Bean as extras or trade assets.
