This season has not been very fun to watch so far.

This team is mentally ^*+%ed.

I really don’t know how you fix this mid-season, but the whole organization shares in this failure. Coaches, Management, Players.

Announcing the contract extension at the game, and including the crowd, is an interesting way of making a community out of the team and the fans.

Do you think another coaches system would do them better? I don't know how much of this is on coaches at this point. Frustrating

I hate duchene too. Anything the guys does screams ‘d****e’. No pun intended with his name...
The way he talked in that senators Uber video, down to his fake country drawl he adopts when he sings in his try hard band. Loser who happens to be good at hockey.

I do, big trade.

I pick Monahan, because he’s the one easiest to replace. Chucky and Johnny are off the table...unless the offer for Johnny was astronomical.

Team looks sad and feeling sorry for themselves. Zero purpose in their game right now. Team needs at least 1 line to get going and start gaining some zone time and help set the next line up for success.

Agreed. This is pretty much all on the players right now IMO, and it'll be up to them to get themselves out of it.

What are the lowest shots on goal the Flames have ever had? Surely this must be close.

The PP is a joke, and the line blender has been a disaster, but don’t get me wrong - I’m not saying I want a new coach. I’m just saying they 100% share in the blame.

Is this them trying to save their hot streak for the back half of the season and roll into the playoffs hot? News flash Flames, you're goalies will be dead and buried out in the desert by the time.you decide to play for keeps.

It's literally 50/50 whether we can hit double digits in shots. Amazing.

Watching the game tonight you just don’t see any emotion. It’s like they know they aren’t coming back and have just accepted the loss. I’ve never been someone to criticize players work habits in the off season, but I seriously question their desire to win and “want it.” I doubt you see Johnny investing as much time as Iginla did to his craft.

Hopeful this is just a slump and they haven’t found that next gear yet but I’m starting to think there are much larger issues.

Maybe hire a sports psychologist to get in their heads and see what's going on up there.

Don't teams already employ those guys?
