Bennett needs to shoot the puck, that 2nd goal was his fault aside from Hiller's awful goaltending
How? Nakladal shoots, misses the net, puck exits zone, wild pick it up on an odd man rush and Nakladal plays puck instead of body. Zucker gets a free pass and makes a perfect shot.
Treliving's message is getting stale for me. It's verbatim the very first interview he gave day 1 he got hired. Parse in some current events from here and there but he's definitey a stone wall in terms of not giving an inch.
Also sick of the hand sitting. as much work as he does (I will not suspect otherwise, pretty well known league wide and in the media) there is so much hand sitting. I get being loyal to the roster you built but this is getting ridiculous. There's dead weight and you're not providing any solutions. Let's get rolling on the player movement already.
The season is done so why make a move for the sake of it? Believe it or not the rest of the league isn't chomping at the bit to take the Flames junk off Brad's hands. He will get to work once the season is over and there will be changes.

What's the over/under on the amount of goals Swiss cheese let's by tonight? Where's EV and his Hiller praise now?
What Hiller praise?
All I've ever said is:
1) We should have signed Devan Dubnyk or traded for Cam Talbot last off season. I said it like every time a goalie discussion came up.
2) Hiller is an average goalie who wasn't playing like he was "done" in October when his save percentage went to crap. And he had an excuse for December because both goalies were sick. He's playing like crap right now though.
3) Hiller was starting to regress back to an average goaltender before Ramo went down, which seems to have completely broken him and he is completely awful now.
4) Hiller did carry us to the playoffs last year after Gio went down and did carry us past the Canucks.
5) Hiller is a pending UFA. We don't need to panic and give up a Kylington/Andersson/Hickey to solve goaltending, we can figure it out in the offseason without doing that.
I've never even been a Hiller defender. Or a Ramo defender. I've been an Ortio pumper, but Sigalet seems to have managed to turn Ortio into a lost confused softie machine too.
This team is not getting a top three pick. We will always win enough to end up higher than the teams shamelessly tanking.
4-8th pick. Still nice, but no Finn.
The difference is this year is the triple lottery. You don't actually have to finish bottom 3 to get a top 3 pick, you just have to get lucky in the lottery.
Rough Estimates
Finishing 7th last we'd get a top 3 pick 21-25% of the time.
Finishing 6th last we'd get a top 3 pick 25-29% of the time.
Finishing 5th last we'd get a top 3 pick 29-34% of the time.
Finishing 4th last we'd get a top 3 pick 34-39% of the time.
Rough estimates, the math changes depending who wins the first lottery so its hard to guesstimate. Haven't seen anybody do math to figure out these ranges yet, I'm kind of guessing based on using the draft simulator a bunch.
Finishing bottom 3 would give us great odds of getting a top 3 pick but we'll have some decent odds in the 4-7 range too. With our crap goaltending finishing bottom 5 seems pretty likely IMO.

But we also have a chance of falling back as many as 3 spots right?
It would be so Flames to finish 4th last and then pick 7th.
