The ownership is a joke.

The front office is a joke.

The coaches are a joke.

Is the on ice performance really a surprise?

I think that’s a significant change in the leadership group. I just wonder if it would be enough...

My favourite part of the game was when it was 4-2 at the end and Hrudey was like "Flames are making a game out of this"

Losing Smith to injury was the turning point in the season. Team never recovered after that continued on a downward descent to missing the playoffs.

Not much change from Hartleys team... it’s not the players. They have shown that they can be a no quit team. Tkachuk and Smith as additions only add to that.

I knew they'd miss the playoffs but didn't think they'd go down this pathetically. What a joke.

Team was horrible right after the Bye week. Smith included.

That was the turning point for this season, 5 freaking days off.

I say keep Johnny, Monahan, Backlund, Tkachuk, Bennet, Janko, Gio, and Dougie. Burn the rest to the ground and salt the earth.

Fire the coaching staff tonight. Let the last games have no coach and see what happens. It can’t be worse.

They're 'visually' awesome. The Corsi tells me so.

I'm going to listen to overtime on the fan till I pass out now

The players are soft. The coach is bad but these guys just aren’t very good. Or tough. You can’t lay everything on coaching. The talent and toughness just don’t there.
