Brian Elliott plays the puck like I have sex with multiple women:

Full of anxiety and with little enjoyment.

When NHL announcers are mentioning the complete blind eye of the league towards Mantha's antics, it says something substantial.

I can't remember when I watched a great matinee game featuring the Flames. I always write these games off and if they win just welcome a nice little surprise.

Have Stone and Hamonic swapped yet? That's gonna be my thing I winje about until it happens. Stone,/Brodie>Hamonic/Brodie.

Perhaps you have a communication problem since at least three posters got the same message from your post. And "most teams" would pull Smith in his first game back after even the third goal. The game would be 4-1 if that had happened.

Did Lazar just “Oh come on” Bennett on that pass? Man, they are fighting internally now.

I'm not calling for anyone to get fired or traded or anything such at this point.

there is just no way to deny this club is not playing well though. To do so is to ignore the reality of what is happening.

Again....

Goals for per game.................... 19th.
Goals against per game.............. 22nd.
Penalty kill %............................ 31st
Power play %............................ 20th

The team had Smith steal a few early on, then as of late they outscored their issues, but when it all balances out in the end, this club is below average in almost every area that matters right now. That's just an ugly truth.

Its great that wins and points are the ultimate metric and they have been OK thus far at them, but they cannot sustain a PO spot with their overall game where it is. Not a chance.

This moving part way up the ice only to give the puck to a Flyer player with a nothing/no one pass has got to stop asap.

Always keep possession as long as possible. Why just throw it away. Hopefully just morning game brain farts.

I don’t think Lazar has much room to be questioning any other player’s production.

It's getting old constantly losing the first faceoff on the PK letting the bad guys set up immediately.
