He is a good hire if we want to tank this year and next.

Hubderdeau-Zary-Coronato

It’s not quite Johnny-Mony-Hudler, but it’s the sort of thing that could Re-energize 10.

Clearly, Mangiapane and Lindholm aren’t what he needs.

I think this can be shelved until the time where he starts playing like a top line NHL player. Or at the very least a functional top 6 player. Right now, his contract is the only thing even keeping him in games.....He can't even make simple plays on the PP let alone produce with faster linemates at 5-5. It's real bad and not just a fast player away from fixing.

[Naitix]

You guys need to chill. The team has the best game of the season last night and you want to switch lines? The only line that was bad was the Coronato one, so they replaced him with Dube. Coronato has not been nearly as effective as he should be, taking some time to watch the game from upstairs will help him

I wish Huska was a good at coaching and personnel deployment as he apparently was at making a PowerPoint presentation.

[Erick Estrada]

I never like the hire but Huska isn't a worry for me right now. If he is a bad coach he's going to take this team where it needs to go which is the best thing that could happen to the organization. If he's a good coach he will turn this around and maybe the team can make the playoffs which is always a good thing. As long as he's not landing the team in the 10-15 overall draft area which is mediocre team hell, I'm fine with him.

This was cemented when he started Markstrom against the Oilers. Was he in a coma the past 2 years?

Or maybe he was the right hire to give ownership/management clarity that the team needs in to rebuild

[Paulie Walnuts]

Well if people want a #1C that can turn this franchise around Pierre McGuire I mean Ryan Huska is a blessing for this franchise.

Huska is a discount 'scratch and dent bin' Pierre!

No. but when was the last time Markstrom won against the Oilers? 2020?

Flames starting goalie has the yips against the Oilers? No good. Get the eff off the team.

I don’t mind the load management. Its a huge jump from 40 games a season in college to the NHL. Other teams are starting to ease college prospects into the lineup in the same way.

High danger chances were 19-4 and it was a 4-2 game...the 4th goal was an outdoor rink bounce

odd time to blame the goalie

based on the season any coach would have had him in there

Sure. now do the last 15 games.

I mean if you are suggesting they would have won with Vladar I don't think this conversation is worth my time lol

[NewFan]

Please try these lines:
Huberdeau-Backlund-Coronato
Zary-Lindholm-Sharangovich
Mangiapane-Kadri-Coleman
Hunt-Dube-Duehr

[Paulie Walnuts]

Markstrom wasn't the issue.

There are 20 teams averaging 3 plus goals a game. 10 at 3.5

We are 28th.

We need to learn how to win some 5-4 games.

Its a 4-3 hockey league.

LOL. at least it wouldn't be a guaranteed loss. I just watched the highlights for the first time right now. Man that first goal was such a terrible rebound. Not only that it was the first goal of the game once again.

Nothing he could do on the 2nd with the 2 on 1 but both the 3rd and 4th goal he is playing like he is a 5'5 Mike Vernon in net. He's like the incredible shrinking man.

When you are 6'6 with the super huge pads why do you play smaller than this?

[dino7c]

you have to be kidding on the 4th goal

it was a ridiculous outdoor rink bounce...anyway watch more the the highlights. Markstrom kept them in the game with massive save after massive save

You are saying that Vladar or Wolf would have allowed one or less...this is not the hill to die on
