Man, why haven't we launched Ron into the sun yet.

He doesn't even want to talk about the Flames game. Goes off on any tangent because he doesn't care. Literally everything he interjects with is completely unrelated to the game at hand.

I can't imagine it'd be worse giving Grushnikov and Kuznetsov some runway on the left side with the big club. Give me Grushnikov. He makes hits.

What chances? Those typical outside perimeter shots? Look at how and where Vegas scored their goals from. Guys down low and in the slot looking for prime scoring opportunities. That's modern day NHL coaching, not funnel it back to the point and hope it hits something on the way.

What game were you watching? Forget being one of the worst Flames teams in history, this group has the potential to be one of the worst teams in NHL history. Controlled the play? We got outworked over and over all period.

Yup
Stone, Marner, Eichel
They don’t need much to beat you. Calgary doesn’t have any forwards that are as good as those 3

Great way to develop a guy for the future. Definitely won't ruin him.

The worst winning percentage in NHL history is .131. The Flames are currently .200. Suspect they will have to get significantly worse for this hyperbolic statement to come even close to true.

I've always said if they aren't good at least they should be mean. Give the fans some entertainment while drafting lots.

Yeah high end skill plus effort is going to beat effort alone most every night.

Still, Flames get the next goal and who knows.

I don't feel like the Flames were outplayed to what the score suggests.

Hill saved a sure goal and the Knights buried their chances

Here’s hoping, give all Flames fans something to be happy about. A win would be even better, every single Flames fan would celebrate that.

Losing this much early will open the doors to the vets wanting to move on.

It's really the perfect storm for the flames to end up near the bottom and getting assets for aging players.

People should be encouraged, not discouraged.

This is what getting a game changer looks like.

Embrace it.

I like Crushnikov and he's done nothing in his showings to suggest he couldn't handle bottom pairing minutes on this team.

Just locked in bets for Parekh or Honzek to get the next goal for the good guys. Sweet odds.

The least amount of goals in an 82 game schedule is 150.

Flames are hunting that one down too.
