Sutter himself said this season was too short to overhaul the systems. This season is much less about making the playoffs and much more about finding out who stays and who goes.
Without Treliving please.

Breaking bad habits? Earn his minutes?

This team actually looks.............worse.

After that pathetic swat at the puck in the defensive zone do you really thing Johnny is going to sit, or see limited time in the 3rd? I don't.

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think Sutter is going to be the savior this team needs. Too much of a mess, unless major trades are made.

It actually would make me happier to know that after this game Sutter can’t commit to the post game interview because he’s hosting a 2.5 hour practice. A hard, no pucks, practice. The kinda thing where if you won’t show up to game come skate afterwards then. No group has ever deserved it more. Just bag skate the #### out of them.

Fanbase GAF metre can be measured by the 50/50 total. Only 150k.

I have huge respect for Sutter but I just don't think he was the right hire for this team. We just don't have the right pieces for a Sutter team and the only way we will, we basically need to trade the majority of the players in our entire organization. This is an epic fail and mistake by Treliving and we are taking so many steps back as an organization. I don't buy this needing time to adjust, this is just awful hockey.

I applaud all of you for caring still, even if it's just a little bit.

I knew the game was on, and still took a nap anyway.

Tomorrow F1 starts, and baseball is just around the corner. I can get my care level for the Flames down to a next-day check of the scores on my phone. Worse than being bad, the Flames are now irrelevant.

My primary concern at this point is that we seem to be committed do building this organization a building. Wow to that.

On the bright side our defense looks better under Sutter. 2-0 losses = profit?

Really, does anyone here look forward to games any more? If anything, they are an inconvenience to watch at this point. I couldn't even get half way through this one before doing something else.

I agree that Sutter is a proven elite coach. That just makes the whole mess that much more depressing.
I think it is 2 or 3 players that are causing the team to give up. Those 3 players should be shipped out and replaced with guys who want to lead.

Name them. I'll warm up the bus and drive them to the airport myself.

I think we have known for quite awhile that Brad built a bad team. Going to need a NHL GM to come in and fix it.

Sutter hockey or Treliving hockey?

Decisions decisions....

Treliving and his weak ass loser teams can move on. NHL is still a big man league that requires skill AND GUTS.

It's truly the play of someone who doesn't care. I mean, I get the tip attempt of you are heading up ice and think you can get around the defender, at least there is a small chance of something good happening. But what's his end game in that play? Absolute best case scenario he magically chips it two feet over the blue line as he is doing his huge arc he turns around in time to see the puck get pumped right back in.

Step one is to sell Gaudreau at the deadline to the highest bidder.

I disagree, it is high time we shipped out the players and support the coach. Bring in some guys who want to win and are not up playing fortnite. Sutter will be fine we just need a better supporting cast.
