He was playing his guy in man, Tanev and Markstrom wear the blame on that goal.

Should be a routine save but okay

tell my wife Huberdeau forgot to take the garbage out too

[flames_fan_down_under]

Who is going to score for this team!?

[GullFoss]

I miss Darryl Sutter and star players.

It's too bad because this has really been an even game between two evenly matched teams. Problem is the Flames really have no finishers, the Rangers definitely do. So even getting an early lead and looking pretty good for a while, if you're not going to bury your chances and go up by 2 or 3 goals you're just begging the Rangers to take the lead. There's just no snipers. And if your special teams are going to get caved in......good luck.

Gotta showcase him to sell him

But eventually they'll get demotivated and not even show the effort.
Dark days ahead.

If they don't show any effort, we'll get players that will. Young players trying to get into the league. If a player can't get motivated he doesn't belong in the league.

We do, we just don't use him in that position for... reasons.

I actually get more angry with myself for still getting suckered into watching the odd game knowing full well how it's going to play out.

At least now I'm down to physically watching only 1/3 games. More radio and highlights these days.

[Hells Bells]

This team is difficult to even watch.

I'd take the Val Bure and Cory Stillman days over this garbage.

Why do I bother?

There will be lots of seats available when that building opens. Should be in year 5 of the Kadri contract and year 4 of the Huberdeau contract.

[Ferarri]

Dome will be empty by January at the latest.

I wouldn’t even pay Hanifin 6 million a year, stop all contract negotiations and sell please

I wouldn’t say evenly matched teams. I would say teams putting forward even efforts.

Rangers have skill, that’s the difference.

Flames have the ghost of Huberdeau and a bag of defective hammers.

If we are matched minus the high end talent, are we really evenly matched?

They really miss Toffoli on the powerplay who was that guy last season. This season no shooters, just a bunch of passers.

I herd of this new game the kids are playing robot blocks? It seems like a good time waster…

[Cecil Terwilliger]

We suck. But at least the oilers suck too.

[Hockey_Ninja]

On the plus side the Oilers are just as bad as us
