I really feel bad for Rittich. He needs good things to happen to build up a head of steam.

There have been no good things happening tonight.

Backlund, Ryan, Lucic and Nordstrom are sucking the energy out of the room, when their roles in the bottom six are supposed to be exactly the opposite.

Wasn’t Claude Julian available for the Flames at one point? I can’t remember. But Bruce Boudreu would be a nice refresh here even GG.

Residual effect of dropping 15 million on Lucic, Backlund and Ryan. Need to dry to fit AHLers into the top six. Where is Nigel Dawes when you need him.

The team on paper is strong, the coach is clueless. It was apparent as hell going into the playoffs and then during them. This was our chance to start over with an experienced reputable coaching staff and instead Tre goes bargain bin diving again. So frustrating!

Flames should just keep placing Ryan on waivers everyday until someone accidentally submits a claim

I recognize that our play has been abysmal since the break, but has anyone considered that this team is at a significant disadvantage because they have played 3 fewer games because of the break? We are still in preseason form, while the rest of the league are getting up to regular season speed. The 5 day break so early in the season put the Flames at a significant disadvantage with essentially no preseason.

Montreal fired their coach (Michel Therien) in the middle of the season just to hire Julien when he became available.

Is this honestly the best bottom 6 we can ice? For crying in a bucket let some hungry kids play

The identity of being #### ass lucky and getting all the bounces? Wasn't realistic to assume that would last beyond what it did. He, also, was a terrible coach.

Can we send half the team to the quiet room for concussion protocols?

The sound guys in the Bell Centre need more practice with the crowd noise.
