Score early flames, score often. GFG.

I'd suggest the players buy in more, and try harder in this game. Unless you think they're so stupid they can't play it.

I say this as a poster not as a moderator but the coaching discussions in every game thread is making GTs unbearable. How many times do people need to say the same thing?

I really really want to see Brodie back on the right side for at least one whole game this season. It would be a Christmas miracle.

Just as a side note, wasn't Dave Cameron running practice before this game? I saw somewhere that GG wasn't there?

Perhaps its someone they're more familiar with for being a former Islander?

I remember when it was a huge issue that Treliving gave up those picks for Dougie Hamilton

lower body injury. perhaps your theory from the last gt was correct, and bennett did break him with that collision.

Thank you for giving credit to the other team - particularly when that other team has a better record than the Flames.

Lol, this game has nothing to do with adjustments. They cannot handle the puck! It's either bouncing off their stick or going straight through. Hopefully GG goes into the dressing room and says: "here's an adjustment, handle the puck." Then coach of the year, right guys? You're watching this game and thinking adjustments? Cmon

[Wisers]

Wonder why Hathaway and Mangiapane don’t get a shot. Instead we have Lazar, Stajan and Brouwer playing.

I'd like to highlight the fact that many professional athletes, if not all, love the game they are playing and are generally always ready to play a game. However, i feel as if they are just not expired to play for gg. They don't like the way they are being forced to play and thus have lost their interest to play to that full intensity level. I've had a coach who used me in the wrong way before, i went from first overall pick scoring well over 2ppg, to nearly never recording a point, then the next year right back to first place when i was given a different coach i wanted to play for.

It is time for him to go. We will be better off learning to a coach for the rest of the year, hopefully having it figured out by the end of the season in time for the playoffs. Anything is better than this guy.

amen!!!!

They’ve become hard to be part of, period.

I’m all for passionate discourse but constant negativity is tiring.

Fair enough. I think some of us are just baffled by the same coaching mistakes being made game after game.

I purchased the tickets to go to this game moments after Jagr signed. A friend of mine (Leaf fan) and I wanted to check off seeing him live. Imagine my disappointment when I hadn't seen #68 on the ice halfway through the game and checked online to see he was scratched last minute due to injury.

And we’re sitting in a playoff position as we speak, far better start than last season. But yes, let’s all ***** and moan night in and night out whether the team wins or loses.

Those three guys have one way contracts, at least I’m pretty sure Lazar does but I’m too lazy to check.

I appreciated the perspective about coming home after a road trip by Sutter there.

Mike Babcock is a better coach than Glen Gulutzan.

...do you disagree?
