I find it funny how Flames fans think it's less on the coach than it is on their give a crap meter.
I find it pretty crazy and unlikely how a team built by a GM who covets character, determination and hardworkers over any other trait...
as well as a team that is at least 50% built with players who's scouting report talks about how they give it their all every shift (Mangiapane, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Dube, Bennett, Backlund, Giordano, Hamonic, Andersson, Rittich)...
the same players that were known as the "cardio kids" and "comeback kids" for their refusal to not give up when trailing in the third period and led the NHL in third period comebacks...
have somehow suddenly lost all ability to show that they care.
Either the coaching is flat out putrid (which it is), we've somehow gotten the wrong mix of character to mess with the "gamer" in the players that care (possible) or the players just randomly decided to shut off their motor this season for no reason in particular (hmm... that's a hard sell)

The so called top players on this team have been a complete disappointment. Soft, lazy, gutless. Nowhere to be found in these big games when we need them. Another blown opportunity with how good the OOT looks tonight.
We need a real head coach. Hellloooo, Brad...

GOAT!

I’m going to put about as much effort into this post as they’ve put into their last three games.

Laviolette engineers a nice Flames win against his old team.

Geoff Ward is crap. Like worse than GG crap. He has no system, he could have pulled Talbot earlier when we had control, and he sends out Michael Fn Backlund once he does pull the goalie. His line calling at home is for ####. Unless BT is going to bring in a capable coach he might as well sell at the deadline.

If there was one thing to be learned tonight, it's the fact that Ward deserves an immediate 3 year extension for having Backlund and RIEDER out there for the 6-on-5 empty net.

I don't feel Sarros had to be amazing.Just had to be solid. I feel most of our shots were from the outside and not too many super dangerous chances.
Can't win when your give-o-crap-a-meter doesn't go on until 5 min left in the game.

Is Treliving just gonna twiddle his thumbs until the deadline? Do something now while you can still salvage the season.

Rieder out with the goalie pulled might just be one of the most bizarre moves of the year.
