You look at a model professional like Marc Giordano and all he's gone through the past two decades to get to where he is today, the time he puts in in the gym and in the film room, and how he's ready to leave it all on the ice every single night, and it's depressing thinking some of these clowns can shamelessly walk into the dressing room as unprepared as they do in certain cities.

You have the entire summer, Christmas break, the bye week, and for all but one player the all-star break, to round up tha boyz and get in one in Vegas. You can't commit yourself to being a professional two or three nights a season? What a joke.

Some of our top players are basically handing free points to a divisional rival, and robbing our dedicated travelling fans of any opportunity to see a win (correct - nobody is forced to go, and it's still an awesome time). I've been dumb enough to go to three games in Vegas and it's pathetic watching the effort level of some of our team in that building and looking at them doubled over on the bench after each uninspiring shift.
Did I miss something here? Was there reports of the team out partying in Vegas while Gio was in his room doing pushups and watching film?

It's a fun-free vaccum on the bench this season and thats got to change. Maybe more professionalism and preparation is needed but the fun part of the game also needs some rekindling.
Maybe this "reddit" post is true and they dont like each other anymore. These guys are emotionally fragile enough I could see that causing a problem for Johnny and Sean.

This team is an embarrassment. Can’t score a single goal, and get out scored 9-0 on the weekend. Slip sliding away....

First 5 periods this weekend were even hockey...this may need to go in the unpopular opinion thread. Flames are squeezing the sticks and need a bounce
