I realize it's down times and it's not my place to tell other fans how to feel or behave but really all we can do is be patient and hope the all star break is coming at the right time. Nothing's working right now. Absolutely nothing. The goaltending is mirroring last season. The offensive players have all lost their scoring touch. The team is timid. The coach has no answers. The GM doesn't have a contract next season. Simply not great times to to be a fan of the franchise.

I don't think the team should make any major moves as this is the absolute worst time to make desperation moves. If Treliving is getting pressure from ownership to make a coaching chance so be it but I think the best thing that can happen is that the team plays things out and if they end up missing the playoffs everything can be reassessed in the offseason. It's been extremely frustrating and maddening but you don't want it messing with your day to day life. Things will get better and we just have to hope that it's sooner than later. I waited 14 long years for my other favourite team to make the playoffs. Things will happen a lot sooner for the Flames.

Something drastic needs to be done! I know they won't do squat. This is ugly.

Never pictured Johnny as the type of guy who would have confidence issues, but wow does he ever look lost.
I think he may actually benefit from adding a player to protect his well being...

Oh good. We even get the Montreal post game show just to really give us the finger.

Two different players will be in the lineup next game, radical measures.

If anyone sees the monkey around the arena that was on Bennet's back please club it with the nearest blunt object.

5-1 Montreal, with the Flames goal coming during Hall-time, being goals occurring well after the opponents have established an insurmountable lead.
well played

"We need to come out better every period."

"We can't expect to win if we're not going to play a full 60 minutes. "

" I let the team down on that one. I needed to make that save. "

"We need to support each other better and play as one unit."

"We need to simplify our game. "

Does that about cover the standard comments we'll hear from the players and coaching staff?

Over the last few weeks we've got whipped by Winnipeg, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and Montreal.

Step right up Ottawa, you're the next contestant on Canada's favourite game show - Destroy Glenn's Garbage.

I almost ran out into the street to celebrate when Bennett scored that goal, but it was just way too much effort and besides we lost the game and currently suck really badly anyway.

Like I said earlier, GG may take the fall, but the players have let him down.

Gaudreau has absolutely and utterly stunk the place out.
