Flames are in full roll over and die mode...
Team sucks, management sucks, building sucks....
I'm a life long fan but man is it difficult these days. I am having a really hard time even looking at the logo. From what I can tell it is not being worn with very much pride. it's just sad really....

Will this game set a record for all time lowest price for tickets on the re-sale market?
Good game to bring kids/family to.

Why would players come to a fan message board for feedback? If they don't think that fans are commenting on their performance, in any city, they are truly clueless. Happens in every sport. The players don't have to take it seriously and the fans should have their ability to have their commentary as fans.

Seems to me that he's talking about the coaches. So if fans aren't happy and players ain't happy, then I don't know how Glutuzan or any of the coaches can keep their jobs. If Tre and/or Burke want to keep them, then he/they need to go too. Never liked the coaching hire.

I actually couldn’t even give my tickets away tonight to staff. If anyone wants to go to the game, let me know through PM and I will send you the tickets. Not great seats (PL) but in row 3 and a great view of the game.

I mentioned it in another thread earlier this season, but the entire Flames brand is stale right now. Just not an exciting organization in any way. They need a new marketing campaign or something at the very least.

They wouldn't, but Estrada can't give up an opportunity to slag Calgary's weather, driver's education system, or fans. Mostly its weather though.

I care. I will watch.
I thought Bennett has been outstanding with the physical play. A pleasure to watch someone that gives his all.
The Flames were all over the Kings physically and it was nice to see it was the Kings backing down thanks to Stewart and Glass.

You're all reading/posting on a Flames message board, you obviously care.
Not sure why people feel the need to post that they don't care. It's like talking about an ex and saying you're over it, when you're obviously not.

I hope Thomas Vanek scores another hat trick to show the Flames just how stupid they are.

You're confusing caring with boredom and random curiostiy.
Not sure why people feel the need to post questioning why the people who don't care need to post.

I'm watching down the stretch to see what Bennett does with a bigger role. He needs to put up a few points and run a few guys over down the stretch here and show something to the club for next year.
Same with Andersson, I'm watching this kid to get a feel for his potential.
Other than that I don't really care what happens.

Optional morning skate is underway at the Saddledome. All indications would point to Jon Gillies starting tonight vs. Columbus. #Flames

I'll watch tonight for the same reasons. Plus, with all of the frustration on the team, someone is going to lose it. My money is on Smith right now.

You’re a good fan! Much better than I am.

I’m hoping Bennett can keep his offensive zone penalties taken under three. Gillies should start from here on out, Smith can sit and stew. No point in playing him at all. Outside of that it’s watching to see who mails it in and who competes, you’ve got to imagine management is watching to see whose GAF meter is broken and needs to go this summer.
