I don’t love those decisions either but that’s not why they are losing
Zero production from the top lines
Horrible play from the top 4 d, gio aside
Best players playing awful
Couple that with unsteady tending and it’s a recipie for disaster

You just know it's gonna happen, and it's gonna suck, and I'll be pissed at Treliving for being dumb enough to hold onto Gulutzan when the window to fire him and salvage the season was open.

So glad we've got post in the goal. Every now and then they're ringing it off the Gillies.

How do you come out of those 2 periods thinking this? Look at what he's playing behind. He may not be having an elite night, but he's made some huge saves and the Flames are giving up nothing but high danger chances.

Absolutley. This is what it looks like when a team gives up on their coach.

This team is a stinky pile of dog #### and doesn't stand a chance in the playoffs if they somehow miraculously make it in. I've never actually been so angry watching Flames hockey. The team is boring, they constantly make major mistakes, and they're fragile. They need a new coach, they need a new bottom 6, their defense is overrated and they need scoring help. Probably going to see the 1st round pick for Hamonic turn into a lottery pick for NYI.

Brodie sucks.

He's scared to shoot the puck and is a defensive liability. Hamonic looks bad because he has Brodie as a d partner.

I can't wait to never have to see this guy in a flames jersey after 16 more games.

It will be such a horrible disappointment if this team misses the playoffs. Watching Garth Snow take Brady Tkachuk with our pick is going to make me throw up.

I’d take it. But why would he with a top 3 pick coming on board, Barzal and a decent young group to play with?

I disagree with almost everything in that statement.
I think a coaching change would be the most impact answer, but not the only answer. Yes, the reason they can't play for "anyone" is largely because of the coaching. No, it's possible to be more pathetic than the Oilers, not even close.
The Flames are more well balanced than the Oilers, how is that a bad thing?

The conclusion is utterly predictable. Flames will flail for a while to start the third. Miss some chances, get some chances but not score, will get frustrated and take penalties, get scored on and lose...I’ll say 5-2. That’s this team. Fire everyone.

Calgary had New York on the run virtually the entire first period. Unraveled in the second.
@NatStatTrick had high danger chances 10-3 Rangers in the second period. #Flames
Flames lucky to only be down 2 after a period like that.

It's not why they are losing?

The coaches are setting this team up to fail. The number of times they have actually dressed the best available roster with the players available to them can be counted on one hand this season.

Player deployment within the game is even worse. The Flames are down 2 goals in a must win game yet the 4th line still receives regular ice time. Nothing makes sense with these coaches.
