It can ruin peoples lives, not just days.

Don't you understand?

There was clearly something to be outraged about and because of Roger we MISSED it by MINUTES!

How are we supposed to function properly as a fan base if our outrage is delayed by even a moment?

I almost calmed down while reading this. Well played.

If this was a rare mistake by Roger then yeah I'd agree but he's always wrong and having to correct himself and is the most unprofessional guy SN has.

And I'm repeating myself but ask yourself why Roger has zero sources within the Flames even though covering the Flames for a very long time and why he has never broken any news and is always wrong....it's because he's not respected by the team or players and I can see why. He should stick to Trump tweets and seriously never post about the Flames lineups again. He's wrong more than he's right.

I know Columbus has, but what other teams?

Oh, and completely ignore all the media pundits that have said it takes a good chunk of games to learn a new system.

Failing that, call our 22 yr old center a bust because of a back injury that kept him out of all of training camp and he's had a bad 20 games to start the season.

Failing all that call out special teams...they really HAVE sucked.

The glue gun thing is definitely the worst part of all this.

Just finding a word in the English language that sounds like someone's name and then calling them that as a derogatory insult doesn't work. It's cringe-worthy.

Feaster's risky gamble may pay off... again.

I know, that's what I said, ruining lives and such.

Don't let your blood pressure get too high. You seem very mad. Roger must be a close friend.

It's ok he will eventually learn how to be professional, maybe another 20 more years and he will learn the Twitter.

i assume you are talking about drafting Gaudreau in the 4th Roy d was a risky gamble? Hard to say a 4th round pick is ever really risky as it is tough to find NHLers in that round.

When I think of risky gambles by Feaster 2 come to mind. Jankowski certainly tops the list as the pick was way off the board. The other was the RoR offer sheet where he was willing to gamble the 1st and 3rd round pick in a year that was very top heavy in the draft by signing a player to an offer sheet. Luckily the Flames didn't trade the Monahan pick to the Avs while gifting the Blue Jackets O'Rielly on waivers.

The "member berries" have been strong with this fanbase this year with several fans saying things were better under Feaster and Hartley where both were very unsuccessful in Calgary outside of a couple of great moves/moments

This would not have happened.

Well it can't get much higher. For about 2mins today I thought Janko was playing tonight, and now I know he's not, so my blood pressure is kind of at an unmanageable levels already.

I've addressed Feaster's big mistake more than once. Sutter made many mistakes as GM. Under Tre, I see decline, so give it more time. It will all hinge on how Hamilton turns out. If Hamilton finds even a little bit more physical play then I would deem it a success as long as his positional play is also improved. Right now he's a gentle slow giant trying to play Paul Coffee's game.

I also choose to disagree with your assessment of Feaster and Hartley. Hartley in his last year had to deal with Hamilton. Hartley's biggest mistake was starting with 3 goalies and sending the wrong one down! Luckily was never claimed, so we could call him back. Feaster made the one big mistake, and it cost him, he however had the blocks in place for the team to go to the playoffs.

Good for you if you're so nonchalant and above it all. Fact is.... Roger reports facts wrong repeatedly, and whether he corrects himself or not the misinformation has already gone out there. And it is irritating. It's not a one-off, everyone makes mistakes situation. It's nearly every single tweet. but that high horse is comfy I'm sure.

What about going all in on Brad Richards? Twice he was saved from himself.

I know, I'd already sent congrats flowers to Janko's family about his first game. Imagine the egg on my face when they get them and he actually didn't play. That's on Roger.

You can always send them to Roger instead. You can even call them "thanks for always being wrong flowers".

Nah. If he didn't learn after misreporting in 2015 that Gio seemed fine in the dressing room after the bicep tear, he never will.
