Does Sportsnet not realize who its audience is? Quit talking about McDavid on Flames broadcasts.

I really want people to stop calling McDavid a generational talent. The most overused phrase this season so far.

I still think it gets shaken up with Ortio next game, maybe even Ramo in the 3rd. Something needs to wake this team up.

Hamilton and Gio together is missing something..

Other lines need to do something. I know Raymond scored but the other 2 lines are doing nothing.

Is Jooris hurt? I'd prefer him over Jones at the moment. Jones is just too slow.

Brodie is a huge missing cog in the D corps apparently. This Hamilton/Gio has garnered minimal results. Again though, it usually takes 15-20 games to get that ironed out.

Not sold on the idea that Hiller has been bad tonight. Kind of feel like he's being hung out to dry. I've seen goals 1-3 and not one can be blames on Hiller. You could critique the Brouwer goal but the guy does have a snipe.

Amen to this. Could easily take Backlunds spot if you take into consideration how little an impact Backs has had so far.

The lack of fire is from lack of youth IMO. Lots of guys that could easily be replaced by youth from the farm and get that enthusiasm back into the lineup. If these guys aren't scoring they need to be skating and hitting, which they aren't. As said by someone else, this has been painful to watch. Certain players step on the ice and you know exactly where the puck is going to end up.

When Brodie comes back, I'd like to see Hamilton with Kulak.

Literally can mean literally or figuratively.

Need to shake something up, a lot of players just going through the motions. If I was going to switch Granlund in for anyone right now it would be Ferland. Love the guy but I forget he's playing most of the time.
No its not....but he isn't helping whatsoever. 4 on 23 shots is horrible. 2 floating wristers have beat him over the shoulder thus far and wouldn't be an issue if he would stay on his goddamn feet til he needs to drop. People clobbered Ramo for giving up 5 on 44.....this is a much worse performance. since they are stupidly carrying 3 goalies then you have to give Ortio a shot next game.

Also Backlund is horrible. The guy just doesn't seem to get it...that's who I would have Granlund in for.

What the f... what is the world coming to when a word that rigidly means something becomes its own antonym?

"Google Definition": not a dictionary nor anything that could remotely be considered a dictionary.

Any source that uses the word in its definition of the word is ridiculous.

Use the word properly kid.

Is Backlund centering Jones and Bollig? If so, is that out fourth line? If so.. What does that mean for Backlund dropping so far down the roster?
