I hope you guys aren't as tough on MacKinnon as you are on Brodie.

Get used to it. This is what this forum wanted. Young players are going to make a lot of mistakes.

I didn't see Backlund's goal since I was driving home from work, was it a nice goal/nice shot?

And there is 100% nothing wrong with it. Growing pains are a natural part of life. These veterans however can wake up or GTFO.

Sometimes I think that what this forum "wants" is to complain, and nothing else .

Heck with the young players. Stajan and Bouwmeester are veteran players. This team is simply horribly coached. I don't recall the young guns even playing this type of non-defensive hockey. Simply a terribly coached hockey team. What exactly is any young player going to learn playing this system?

Funny thing about "blowing it up" is thing are going to get a lot worse before they start getting better. I wonder how many people actually realize this?

I don't have an excuse for the veterans, besides then simply giving up, but too much hate on Brodie tonight.

Wed have people complaining if the Flames were winning tonight too. Can't keep everyone satisfied.

Why should we get used to this now? This whole season has been like this. Management has shown that they are going to make changes, give them time. I agree this team won't be great in the near future but it's the end of the year and between being a bottom 5 team and all the trade talk, it just looks like some guys have given up. I think we can expect games like this for the rest of the year but I think this team will look drastically different next year.
