If this team loses tomorrow, Conny and the Flames brass needs to take an honest look at things. Playoff chances shrink dramatically, and playoffs become basically a pipe dream.

Take a look at Parekh, and realize those are the kinds of players you can get by drafting top 10.

It's sure refreshing having an intermission that you actually want to watch.

I can't believe we didn't at least ask him to waive. But then again, I can believe it.

This combo of guys is just bad. Maybe as many as a third of them are bubble/fringe NHLers.

And rather than accepting that and trying to simplify and get dirty greasy goals, they keep trying to dangle their way into the zone or rifling shots at the goalie with no traffic or chaos at the net.

Lots of low talent players with smarts play better than these guys.

So yeah, Flames are hard working dummies. Not losing because of lack of effort. Playing hard, not smart.

Would it kill this team to beat Toronto once in a while?

Who cares about his AHL points, we know what Hunt is in the NHL, he's nothing, he's the safe pick. Low risk, no upside.

Klapka is fine on the 4th line but he's had lots of looks this season and outside of one game he's been pretty unremarkable.

Kerins had four points in 5 games, looked really good in 3 or 4 of those games and at the first struggle they send him down never to be seen again.

Stromgren has been the most exciting Wrangler this year offensively but he's risky and unknown.

Give the other guys a look, why is this team playing it safe or making safe decisions.

Fans complain about eastern media not giving the Flames enough respect, but it doesn’t help when the Flames #### the bed every time they play the Leafs.

Haha going to sit out the Flames season ticket holder event next week.

Would get escorted out of the building for colourfully telling management to shove their price hike.

You might have to cheer for another team if that’s where you are setting the bar.

Or they were trying to get him for a discount and unless it was a serious offer to start Conroy wasn't interested in working it out. Because he didn't have to trade him.
