Thanks for the post HalifaxDrunk.
Just having trouble getting excited this year.
Last year: Oh! Is it game day?!
This year: Oh... is it game day...?
Call me fairweather, call me bangwagoner. It's neither of those, and not even close. I've been pretty hard core my whole life. I just think it comes from the speed of how we went from ecstatic highs, to crushing lows. Hope to feel the excitement again this year, but that probably won't happen till we hit .500 and playoffs are at least an outside possibility.

I want a good concerted effort. Win or lose.
I'd also love to see Monny, Johnny, Hamilton, and Brodie have good, or even great games.

I've accepted that we probably won't make the playoffs this year, lowering your expectations will really help your enjoyment on watching this team. The road trip wasn't all bad, resurgence by Mony and Sam continues to play great. I now watch for 6 players, Johnny, Mony, Sam, Brodie, Gio and Hamilton. Yea we have other strong players too (Frolik has been a solid addition) but I think those 6 will be our core moving forward. As long as they play well and continue to improve then I'm pretty happy with the team this season, win or lose. Not worried about Gio, even if he goes this whole season not playing well I have faith he will bounce back, he's been great since he's returned from Russia, not just last season. He's one of the hardest working players I've ever seen and he will bounce back.
So with that being said, I just really hope Johnny gets back on the scoresheet tonight!

Please please please please get Hudler off the top line Hartley. That's all I ask!!
I would rather have Blake Comeau circling the net in useless fashion than see Hudler make absolutely no contribution with Johnny and Mony.

Johnny is on a slump. 4 games 0 points. Hope he snaps out of it. Gio is the leader and needs to play better.
Anyone know the last time a player not named TJ Brodie received an extension and played his worth?

That's a bold statement. Not as bold as Moneyhands23 last season but it still sounds crazy.

Agreed and IMO Monahan as well. Get Bennett, and/or Backlund, Frolik up on that top line. I don't care.

Lots of this sentiment here and me as well. For me I'm just tired of bad teams. Enough's enough. 5 years out of playoffs was hard to take, glad for last season but this isn't acceptable. I do not accept the narrative about rebuilds inevitably being this long, painful process.

I truly hope they learned something from the Chicago game, this could very well be a season turnaround game for the Flames after the lesson given from Chicago.
If they want to move out of the basement and become a playoff contender and eventually a cup contender they better understand what it takes to be one of the top teams in the league...they need to skate harder, play smarter, play as a team and actually #NeverQuit (not only in plays during the game but for each other). Everyone on this team has to be better for us to have any real success and I hope it starts tonight.
Go Flames!.
PLEASE

What would they have learned in Chicago that the other 11 losses (many of those complete blowouts) didn't teach them?

I agree with the tenor of your post (even if I did momentarily think you meant that you patronized mobile brothels when you called yourself a 'bangwagoner').

Well from the pre-game warmups they should've learned a good lesson from Kane about how not to style your hair if you're balding. That's about it.

I can't remember where it came up in this forum before, but there were people scoffing at the idea of Schneider being in the conversation of a top 10 goalie in the NHL. He was really good last year with very little relief from a backup, sporting a GAA of 2.26 and a Sv% of .925. His numbers this year tell a story of someone who has really found a groove in New Jersey. GAA-1.98, Sv%-.928. Also, Luongo has been the MVP for the Panthers this year with a 2.35 GAA and Sv% of .926. Vancouver let both of these guys go for a song.
In short, Vancouver is no good.

Also, expect all of Cammalleri, Stempniak, and Schlemko to record a point against us tonight.
