[GT] Flames vs. Blues

[browntrout]

Oh.....it's going to be some long time before this team is a true contender again....time to start thinking about a partial teardown, and restock on some higher end prospects....this team so clearly lack the high end skill that is required to successfull in this league

Remember when Gio won the Norris? That was great.

I don't think either have said he "loved" Darryl, but have said he had "no problems with Darryl" and what people say publically is not how they always feel.

I've heard from a trusted source that while it was a bigger reason for Tkachuk leaving than Gaudreau, that it played a factor is Gaudreau's decision as well.

Really in the end the real decision should have been firing Sutter if it would have meant keeping 13 and 19.

Sutter knew 3 things
1. The next 2 years was this groups window
2. To get out of our division we needed to play man to man in our zone
3. We no longer had game breakers, so we had to throw everything at the net from everywhere and score dirt

But

That’s not fun

[GullFoss]

I feel Huby just needs a good linemate to finally start going. Has Conroy tried to trade for Austin Mathews or Connor bedard or Jack Hughes?

[Inferno]

It's looking like Hofer's first career SHUTOUT might be an easy one.

Sutter was a a**hole behind the scenes and unprofessional to Flames background staff. Dude was cannedbecause of how he treated people.

Tkachuk was gone the minute JG left .

[Nelson]

I like Huska, but I agree he should figure out his best lines so far and go back to them. I suggest something like:

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Mangiapane
Coleman - Backlund - Coronato
(Placeholder for Ruzicka) - Kadri - Dube
Greer - Sharangovich - Duehr

Hopefully not. Need more to get closer to that rebuild.

Ah well, hopefully they pull this off somehow in the 3rd...

That was fun watching his season that year. Always winning puck battles.

Sutter probably wanted to get fired after seeing these guys together.

Back to the gym.

That would kind of explain why the whole team rebelled just before said it was fired.

Yes, this team only needs two things to be a contender: a Hart transplant, and a heart transplant!
