Can we still pay him that the next 8 yrs?

Most people were expecting 3-4 good years

We may not even get one

Lucic has looked.

The optimist in me thinks that Kadri had a long, long season last year and was just out of it this season, he'll be back to his prime after a good, long off-season and getting a year older.

Yes. Yes...surely this is a thing that will happen.

Also, Markstrom will have a mental epiphany and re-learn how to play hockey through the teachings of a holistic Beverley Hills Ninja.

The roster on the ice for the Wild has a cap hit of about $63M, just barely over the floor. $16M in dead cap, and Brodin and Nyquist are injured. The way they play is really impressive.

I think he's going to be better next year. Maybe not 115 points but he'll be closer to what we thought the Flames were getting.

Sutter isn't trying to win. He's just not. If you have been crap for 60 games and you won't change anything then your goal isn't to win.

His goal appears to be bending the players to his will. Maybe he thinks he's breaking a horse or something.

Shutout coming?

[Bonded]

Markstrom playing a decent game that’s getting wasted again

It's completely reasonable. The roster is going to look nothing like it does today. There's some more big changes on the horizon.

You shouldnt say 'shutout.'

Hasnt anyone told you that its bad luck to use the term 'shutout' and when a 'shutout' looks likely you absolutely, positively should never use the term 'shutout.'

Whats that now? 'Shutout?'

[N-E-B]

Thanks for that brilliant segment, Ron. Amazing stuff.

[Rejean31]

Why the #### are we talking Oilers right now Ron??? You just can’t help yourself can you!!

[Samonadreau]

A little Lucic-Reaves action might wake the team up.

Just sayin.

[DeluxeMoustache]

Yup. Shutout

[bubbsy]

Lol… that’s the Barrie highlight, really?

Hnic really sucks now. I miss how good it was when I was younger.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Really illuminating the nuances of the game Ron. Just happy he was able to shoehorn a meaningless Oilers clip into a national broadcast.

Yeah, that entire thing was idiotic. Make sure you drop a couple McDavid references too.

So annoying. What a brutal program.

[81MC]

Hockeynight programming sucks. Commercial break, tacky-ass oilers fit, commercial break.

Flames, sorry guys if you lose tonight probably gotta check out for the season.

It's a bit surreal.

Sure hasn't been any indication the Flames will score. I'm 50/50 on it myself.
