Calgary really needs to make a trade with a playoff team.

Glad to see more people pointing this out. It's true of course.

Brodie is a bright spot on this train wreck of a team and you're lucky to have him.

Remember the media had the Flames at 14th in the west and we all laughed. Apparently they know their ####.

Indian scotch, as in, India?

I am truly looking forward to seeing Nate or Jonathan or Seth suiting up for us in october. And most of the apathetic "leadership" floaters nowhere to be seen.

Sure hope Johnny Hockey feels the urge to make his move up to the pros this spring.

Bring back Rocky Thompson. Retired or not, at least he was entertaining to watch on the ice.

I can't wait for Iggy, Regher or even Connie to write about what that room is really like.

Yeah, it's a bad mix all around. For me, I want to see a team with a bit of an identity someway, somehow. They are not an elite offensive team, they are horrible defensively, they're old, and they're aren't physical.

They're just............nothing. Nobody has a clue what this team is supposed to be, or what their identity is.

They need a plan, and they need to make sure they have the hockey people upstairs that know how to implement it. Is it Feaster and King? I'm not convinced it is.

But it's hard for a fan like me (and I think many others here) to cheer for a team like this, one that we really have no idea what they will do from one day to the next. It's not even frustrating or maddening anymore, it's just boring.

Man this team is so soft in front of Kipper...the guy is getting run into every time they're around our net!

Why wouldn't they?

Sometimes the sum of the parts are, in fact, better than the whole.

I wish Flameswin was around so I could hear his thoughts on the game

I'll second that.

I loved that guy!

He's getting to be severely over hyped. Typical around here. He's played like #### for the last few games.

Playoff teams don't just stand pat, even with depth trades.

Hahaha oh man this is hard to watch

[Jing]

Wow, leaving Kipper out to dry again.

[Psytic]

Blown out by the BJs

[JurassicTunga12]
