I think what makes this season worse is the disappointment. If they were bad last year I'm probably not upset right now.

Center. Need your most dynamic players down the middle, otherwise you end up with this team.

Hard to grasp exactly why, but it boils down to that.

Agreed. The compete factor last year was great and winning is fun. The decline has been unexpected.

Which begs the question....

Why is Sam Bennett not playing centre?

Because Hartley is committed to making this season miserable even for a rebuilding year.

One thing that seems to be overlooked is that the Flames were playing a very good team game since January of 2014, that is for the last half of the season two years ago. So it's not like last year was a brief aberration.

I'm drunk watching this crapfest. The wifey is out with the girls drunk.
Only thing I have to look forward to is maybe she wants to fool around after all the drinks.

You forgot about our god-awful special teams. This team is just an all around dumpster fire this season. No positives whatsoever outside of maybe Gaudreau. It's basically the same team on paper as last season. Amazing how such a fast, hard-working, skilled team could become such a #### show over the course of one summer. I don't get it. It's a total freakin' mystery.
