Please for the love of god blow this team up, complete pretenders. Kadri is the most selfish player on the ice most nights, would give the Conna a run for his money in that department

Take the point and move on is all you can do I guess.
The sharpest mind in hockey might have been right? I'm shocked! Positively shocked!

Actually amazed that Huska is giving Sutter a run for his money at baffling shootout nominations.

I thought this coach was supposed to bring common sense to the fold.

How hard is it to see that forcing redemption arcs on players who are being selfish and ####ing your team is probably not going to pay off.

The Flames gave away the greatest scorer in the history of the game for nothing. Serves them right.

No one has ever doubted Sutters hockey acumen. But when the locker room hates your guts it doesn’t matter how smart or right you are.

Ovechkin isn’t getting close to the All Time record playing like that.

Lost the coin flip, on to the next one.

The team's best offensive player
A guy that hit the crossbar on a wicked shot
A guy who hit the post

Probably an inch or two difference on those last two shots and the Flames win. Doesn't seem like terrible choices to me.

Shocking that a coach who has accomplished nothing and was given an NHL job because he's been here the longest wasn't the best decision that could possibly have been made.

Trade Lindy, Trade Hanifin, retain on Kadri and trade him for a bag of pucks, he is a cancer amongst the team you don’t want to bring young players up around

I like Kadri, but he’s past his prime and Tre gave him the Tre special - a retirement contract.

GMs should be forced to take all their bad contracts with them when they go to another team

You're the GM of the flames and are deciding who to draft. The night before the draft, the ghost of Stanley cup future shows that if you draft Dris Cingham, he'll play his entire career with the flames putting up 0.2 ppg and will retire with two Stanley Cup rings. But if you draft Honny Duberdeau, he'd also play his entire career with the flames putting up 1 ppg and bake lots of cookies for his teammates.

Which player do you draft and why?

Needed one to extend it and have a shot.

Definitely not Kadri.

Only 3 games in and were 1-1-1 after a massive coaching and systems overhaul. The team played a good game, Markstrom was solid again, and it wasn’t boring. Everyone needs to chill out.
