He’s our 7th defenseman slotting into a new team he’s had minimal time with. What did people expect? People make it sound like Andersson couldn’t just as easily of made some bonehead plays. We won that’s all that matters. Were people making threads like this last game when Gio got walked and scored on last game?

So then don't play the 7th/8th dman. Play Andersson. That's... the whole point. Do you disagree?

So start a thread about how you clearly think the coach is an idiot then.

Agreed. Prout on the team as the press box emergency fill in guy is something I don't have an issue with. But when you have time to call someone up, use them instead.
Coaches wanting the call up to get a practice or two in first is fair enough, so I really hope we see that change next game

But apparently a crapping on Prout thread and a positive thread about Lindholm are the same thing.

Start whatever thread one likes as it's a free country, it's not up to me to decide on what a stupid thread is on a public forum However the two threads Lindholm/Prout are nothing alike. Agreed, as it's not the same thing whatsoever, in any capacity.

LOL, you think that would get better reception? Don't try to kill me more than I'm already dead.
Besides, I don't think Peters is a bad coach. I think considering Prout better than Andersson is a poor evaluation, but I think Peters is smart.

How are they different? One is a thread praising a player, with a good track record, for playing well in a small sample size with the Flames. One is a thread deriding a player, with a poor track record, for playing poorly in a small sample size with the Flames. They're basically opposite sides of the same quarter.

I don't get the point you are trying to make, that's all. They played the 7th dman in the role of the 7th dman spot.

This thread is stupid. Prout is who we thought he was. He's who the flames thought he was. He is not a long term solution. Andersson got called up got a reason.

Ugh. All the replies are the same.
The point I'm trying to make is that Prout is a BAD option at 7th dman. The responses I'm getting are "but they played the 7th dman in the 7th dman" role, which doesn't address my point at all -- Prout is the 7th dman right now, yes, but he's an awful choice for that role and he's never looked very good at all in his career before, indicating he's not likely to improve.
I think the Flames should get a better 7th dman. I don't disagree with your interpretation of the role of the 7th dman, my qualms are all with the man occupying said role.

Yes, Prout was on the ice for the 5 on 3 goal. However anyone that has ever been coached or has actually played a 5 on 3 should know Prout was trying to ensure the open man on the boards was covered. That pass was supposed to be Hanifin to stop. Boeser did what a forward is supposed to do on that PP which is get in front of the net and turn his back to the defender(Prout) to protect the puck in case and make it tough for the back side defender to stick check.

Sure, and it was a bad play. Normally you'd want him no where near a 5-3 PK. Just seems over the top to rush out and create the thread when a comment in the GT would have sufficed.
Anyway, not worth arguing over.
