Yes, those invisible men playing on his wing keep turning that damn puck over right away. Hopefully Gulutzan can switch them out with Monahan and Chiasson/Whomever for next game.

Don't know if I've ever been less surprised about finding out someone is a Trump supporter

(sorry for OT)

What a clown Roger Millions is. Honestly one of the most unprofessional guys in the league.

I'll say it again, any wonder why this guy has zero sources and has never broken anything despite covering the Flames for ever? Yesterday's Wideman tweet and the ones today are why he gets no respect.

I really don't care about Roger's political beliefs and won't judge him on that, but as a sports reporter, politics don't belong on your Twitter account. People don't follow you for that.

[jg13]

He was doing so well.

[N-E-B]

I agree with you guys but it's also his personal account. I don't care what he retweets. Backlund retweeted anti-Trump stuff a few days ago and I didn't care either. If you don't want someone's opinion, don't follow.

It's a game you can build on but there was a lot of badness outside of Backlund and Frolik and Elliott. Turnovers continue to haunt the Flames and Gaudreau has been notorious for them so far this season.

If they get the first line contributing it will force teams to play from behind a bit more which should only help to open things up for the flames offense. the thing I liked was how they came out strong and took it to the hawks. if they could have got a early one it would have done wonders for them.

Dead last in goals against though. It bottles my mind that GG still hasn't reunited Gio-Brodie and gone with a traditional Top pair, middle pair, bottom pair system for the defense. Elliot is playing well, so it's pretty obvious where the problems are, and trying to spread out the d-talent to even the pairings is just plain dumb.

The pairings need to be put together properly, and they need to get back to doing the simple things right. Good positioning, smart passes. You can't get fancy in your own end and the talented half of the pairing can't be trying to overcompensate for the lesser man.

Not that it makes a world of difference but when using goals for and against this early in the season one should use per games played. It's actually:

11th in gf/gp and not 6th
6th last in ga/gp and not last.

Also just because our defence hasn't been good doesn't mean Johnny and Mony shouldnt be playing better.

Uh no it's not his personal account. It's his account that's associated with his job at SN. He tweets stuff about his job all the time and is an employee for SN and a public figure. If he wants a personal account he can make one and only post about non Flames related stuff.
