I'm honestly not concerned one iota. I mean as a person I hope he's okay and healthy and I'd rather he sit as a healthy scratch but for the team it's not really a worry for me.

Over/under on number of Glencross' minutes Hartley gives to Jackman?

[direwolf]

That was ugly.

I was thinking this during the game too. I want to like him, but he never does anything, and nothing ever happens when he's on the ice.

It's all very vanilla.

Bench Sven = lose 5-1

Hey Berra, you are new to the team and I am guessing you might read these forums. I know if I was in your shoes I probably would.


We are a pretty negative lot here; it's just the nature of this community, ignore it. But if you are feeling down about your play, don't. You did everything that could have been expected of you and perhaps more. There isn't a single ounce of that loss that can be laid at your feet.

In summary, the score was harsh, damning for a goaltenders stats. For that though the team and (more importantly) the coaching staff owe you an apology. Don't let it hurt your confidence in the slightest, as I saw a damned good goalie in net tonight, one that I see as the future of our team. A team that truly let you down tonight, not the other way around.

For the me the big deflation were the 2 mistakes that lead to the first 2 goals (Galliardi/Glencross).

[Hemi-Cuda]

Hartley has separate rules for judging veterans and rookies, and it's extremely frustrating to watch. Seeing Glencross lazily try to swat at the puck on the pk and directly cause the 2nd Wild goal is enough to make me turn off the TV right there as we know he won't face any kind of repercussion from Hartley. Same thing with Jackman and McGratten, they do nothing to help the Flames on the ice but are played over guys like Baertschi who has directly contributed to several victories

If I was one of the young guys on the Flames it would really grind my gears knowing that I was being judged on a different arbitrary scale

What's concerning about it in your opinion? Honest question.

Not a bad road game until midway through the 3rd. It was a pretty even tilt until then. Minnesota completely frustrated our offensive attack all night long, so kudos to them.

Dennis Wideman had a rare AWFUL game. No idea why he was at the point in his own zone on that one goal. Pretty rough defensive game in the last 10 minutes. The first time I've seen them give up all year.

Nobody else really stepped up, and that's the vets right on down to the fresh faced rookies. Just a weak team game tonight. Minnesota wanted it more and were much more physical, and the Flames got cocky after their win in Chicago. I don't think Baertschi would have added much tonight in this type of game.

Poor Berra. He had no chance on almost every single goal. Onto the next one.

Remember everyone, we knew there were going to be nights like this. This is a rebuild after all.

Not a bad game to watch until the wheels came off in the 3rd. Thought Berra and Russell played well tonight. We missed Sven tonight...... you just have to hope management knows more than us fans do because we could have used his energy tonight especially in the 3rd.

Hartley, too much tinkering with the lineup. Take a Tinker Stinker then set it and forget it.

Not to mention, seriously, what @#@#$@ing coach would make the line of Monahan, Hudler and... Jackman.


Seriously, Hartley lost that game, pure and simple. But the rest of the team was awful, I dont deny that. I just think they were awful due to horrid direction. On of the few times you can blame the coach... kinda like the last time Sven was benched.

Oh CP…never change. It couldn't possibly be because we played to our actual talent level tonight instead of playing way above it and playing the strong team game that we normally do. Yeah, that couldn't be it at all.

On a positive note, it was nice to see the Wild beat us with hockey plays instead of suicidal boredom.

Takes penalties.

Fly's the zone early.
