I can’t decide who sucks more. Jason Kenny or the Flames.

Write off the season....please.
You know what I mean. The opposite of trying to save the season.

Kinda early for fans to be giving up on the season but... I don't blame any who do.

Please, just sell. Do it in December. Use this year as a development year for the young players we do have. Sell Brodie and Hammer soon. Rely on the youngsters.

Just do it right for once. Please.
And get Gaudreau the f#$% out of here. How long have we heard he wants to play elsewhere? Was it his first year or second? How often do you here this rhetoric over and over about a player?

Ward's comment 2 days ago about it's not whether players like each other or get along together really spoke volumes. He seemed to backtrack shortly after that saying that the players don't have problems but I think it's obvious there is some rot in that room. Something happened over the all star break last year. This team is broken. I'd be shocked if this team looks the same by the new year.

Have a REALLY bad year and get a franchise player.
While I agree, that is just so far from a sure thing.

Thing is, we should have been accumulating picks through the rebuild, not at year 6.

Regardless I’m more and more convinced we need a “new best player”. There are very useful players on this team but no one to build a championship around.

Agreed! We just don’t know which house, neighbourhood, or city that room is in.

The season can be written off if they don’t get 4 points in the next three games.

Just baffling how the same team looked like they would win every night for most of last year.

Starting to think this team has more than a few coach killers on it.

No knee jerk reaction trades, please.

I know this sucks, but the worst thing this organization could do is get snookered in a trade since we'd be trading from a major point of weakness. Other teams know the Flames are desperate right now, don't make bad deals just to make a deal.

If they tank, tank hard. Trade some major pieces in the off season, re-tool and go from there. There are some nice young pieces (especially on the blueline), if the Flames make some decent trades they could be a good team again as early as next season.

Just try not to get to depressed watching it play out, and load up on lots of booze.

How are they this bad? They were mediocre post-allstar break but this is a new level of suck. Call me an eternal optimist but there’s too much talent for them to be this bad. I really think they’ll turn it around and go on a healthy win streak to vault them back into playoff contention, but if not; wholesale changes this offseason.

Who knew Brodie was the glue that held this team together?

There must be a rift in the team that has soured the whole thing.
