Yup. People like to blame Huberdeau and Kadri (and they deserve it for their on ice performance) but really the problems happened before they got here.

The teams two best players left in large part because of coaching and management decisions made by Sutter and Treliving. (although since leaving Tkachuk has thrown shade at Sutter and had nothing but positive things to say about Treliving, so read into that what you will).

And Sutter was fired not because of Huberdeau and Kadri, but because pretty much the entire organization was sick of how he treated people.

But easy to for people like AustinL to just point all the blame at Huberdeau and Kadri like this gong show is their fault and Sutter was the saviour.

Imagine it finally clicks and they come back and win and go on a roll. That would be rad.

Oilers booed off the ice trailing the Rangers 3-0 at the end of the second. The fans at the dome should also be booing this garbage performance!

[TheScorpion]

Mack Celebrini sounds real good about now.

[Ziggy Lidstrom]

Getting goalied by a back up/emergency fill in again.

We are the part of the schedule where teams are happy to rest their starting goalie and get the other goalie some nhl experience.

What a sad state of affairs.

But hey at least we have a nice guy as our GM. He needs to find a way to recoup assets.

Source?

Maybe the players are playing to get the owner fired.

Or they have a horrible first half which drives the organization to make some better long term decisions
Being out of it by Xmas would arguably be the best thing for this franchise

Sutter: these players you traded for kind of suck. Do you know how to assess talent? Maybe you should trade them asap so we can get ris of these contracts.

Tre: that's not true. Why don't we schedule a meeting with the scouts, myself and Maloney and we can explain to you why this is a great roster.

Sutter: no thanks. Will decline that meeting because it's fake news.

Maloney leaks to media: Sutter is toxic and disrespectful to many in the organization including the players, scouts and front office. He won't even take meetings with the scouting experts Tre and I handpicked. He disrespects the players we signed. I don't understand why he doesn't give Huby more playing time!

[Macindoc]

With a 5% shooting percentage, we need 40 shots this period to get to OT

[Igottago]

Winners are toxic in Calgary.

American Thanksgiving would be better.

Do you honestly think any of this is remotely true?

[Buff]

I am not entertained.

Lol you should know better.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

The number of players on our team who can cleanly give and receive passes is... low.

LOL yeah because this org. has a history of looking at their situation realistically and making appropriate decisions
