I hope management is seeing the same thing you are, because if the effort is there and the Flames are not even in the game it should be all the more reason to make some major changes at the deadline.

Effort?

its the NHL and these guys are making millions of dollars per year. Effort isn't an expectation; its a given.

Talent on the other hand, is something this team is not blessed with.

Quickest returnee ever.
His join date is Mar 2012, not Mar 2013... just another Kerr basher, not a new account.

Exactly.

Which just proves they are not good enough.

Blow it up already.

Anyone who thinks "putting in the effort" means playingn with no heart, knows nothing about winning.

Not only that, but he's often also been playing against the other team's best lines to boot.

I'm liking Comeau.

He's been a model example tonight for exactly how I want every Flames player to play night in and night out.

He almost beat Quick twice in that period from just using his own speed and actually hitting the net with his shot.

This game is very painful to watch. I agree with djsFlames that Comeau seems to have a jump in his step the last couple games. Backlund's intermission interview was horrible.

The way he is playing today shows me some of the reasons why Hartley keeps giving this guy chances, because even when things aren't going his way, he never lets up on the puck, and is just flying around out there.

I think next GT we discuss hottest Canadian babes (guys or girls, whichever your preference). I choose Ryan Reynolds.

Actually Lando is a bum! Did nothing but turned the puck over. Shanko is who we need!

I hate this trade tracker crap, just gives them an excuse to show hockey central tape from earlier today instead of actual live television during the intermission.
