Sutter needs to cut off someone's member to show he means business.

Some of these guys are ones that they brought in to help our depth..

It's time for the rookies and those fighting for a roster spot to step forward and show why they should be a part of the opening roster. To suggest it's preseason is so chicken #### and weak.

Sure that’s why Perlini walked around him like a pylon?

You are what you do and how you show up consistently.
If playing this game is your job, and you're a professional who loves to play and wants to have success, why save showing up just for games you deem important?
How are you going to be ready to win game one if you phoned in the pre-season leading up to it?
If your goal is to win, why not work on winning habits from day one.
Saving that for game 20, or whatever is what non-winning players and groups do.
^ This is why I'm irked with even early performances like this from key players.

Sutter should also be taking a lot of blame for the Gudbreson signing. It was Sutter who called gudbreson when free agency started and said he was interested in him. Would have hoped Tre would have said not a chance but I’m not sure how much power Sutter has .

The Flames dressed an AARP line. You can’t possibly expect those kinds of vets on guaranteed one way contracts to play with any kind of energy in game 1 of preseason. It’s just never going to happen. Bigger question is whether they are the kind of players to bring energy over a long regular season.

Well if that’s the case, then that is a problem. You think Sutter just told him “ go out and get a good skate in”?

Like Tampa who went 2-5 last preseason?
Obviously not game 20 but you are gearing up to go 100% in for game one.

Well, no one is doing that. But I think it is a good bet that a bunch of these players are definitely saving it for Game #1.

Has Sutter considered yelling at the players?

I don't know. Dube and Valimaki were in the dog house for lack of effort and structure last season. Mackey is also fighting for a spot... they have not done themselves and favors tonight

I say game 20 because routinely, it takes roughly that long for the Flames to get their legs under them and start to play competitive hockey.

% minutes into the third period, in a game they have been completely dominated, they have one weak shot on goal.
