Trade. Them. All.

Love the idea of Monahan to the sabres. Johnny to NJ. I'll even add gio to Toronto and Backlund to NYR

Well, they sucked the positivity outta me. Time to close up shop after game 6, and make some big off season changes.

Rinaldo, though... talk about not suited for playoff hockey. What exactly would you say he does? Because I have no idea.
Even if a player could make you this mad on your own team, short of another Bertuzzi incident, just take a step back from hockey. It's just a game. We are only fans.

Didn't deserve to win. This team continues to suck the life out anyone vested in it.

That was sadly typical of the Flames in the playoffs. They just don’t have a team that’s built for the playoffs. Dallas forces them to play their game, the Flames just aren’t up to the task. The Flames have the skill, they just don’t have the grit or the ability (desire?) to play the style needed to win in the playoffs.

The Flames' best player isn't even playing... and has Seguin done anything in this series? I don't think so

I think it comes down to depth. The Flames' bottom line and bottom pairing got absolutely demolished today

As for the Flames, if they lose then hopefully there is a massive shakeup.

I've been a huge fan for his entire career, but I am completely done with Gaudreau.

He's soft, unable to accomplish anything in the NHL playoffs, and downright selfish with his choices. Misses the net with a slapper that clears the zone on the PP, passes into Dallas skates, or to double covered teammates, plus he's unable and/or unwilling to commit defensively. Not to mention his well publicized lack of commitment off-ice.

Our 3rd line has been our best line by far, and Gaudreau has been a blackhole in almost every single game. Plus he blew his defensive coverage in the last minute of Game 2 for the winner. Just the complete opposite of a playoff performer.

He's a $6.75M PP specialist who is looking for a raise.

Dejected after that loss. Scoring has been an issue all playoffs.

We still have atleast one game left, so will enjoy it. We are technically the underdogs in this series, though had a chance to take the stranglehold on the series last game.

Backlund looked really good. Talbot looked good. Andersson had a solid game as well.

First to win four. Not over yet. But we are clearly outmatched here.

Not really the point. Advancing to the next round gives the "core", whatever that looks like post expansion draft, a minimum of four more game of playoff experience.

You can't buy that and it's worth a hell of a lot more than picking 20th vs 25th, or thereabouts, in the first round.

Backlund's about the last guy I'd trade, or blame for that matter. He's actually shown up for the playoffs.

Are we going to see Rittich at all? How stupid is it to not hive your starter a minute of playoff action in 2 seasons.

It is so unsurprising that it is heart breaking.

Dallas ratchets up the intensity in game 2, 80% of the roster cowers in the corner and the coach turns a blind eye.

The core is trash. Rebuild it.
Amen
