In summation, the Flames need to play the way they did during the win streak. Leadership needs to ensure the team executes the coach's (coaches? coaches'? coachi'?) system(s) in a disciplined, vigorous manner or else they won't make the playoffs.

For want of clarity and because I'm a language freak:

coach's - if it refers only to GG's system
coaches' - if it refers to a system used by all of the coaches

I like "coachi" though....

...or his dog. It could also refer to Gulutzen's dog.

Wow. Your grade 6 teacher was a dick.

Yeah I never actually spelled that one. But that certainly makes more sense.

As long as they can score more goals than the other team, going forward they'll be okay

Yes he was. He also ripped up a history exam of mine when I'd finished it, turned it over, put my pen or pencil on top of it and took out a science book to read.

If the Flames play the way they "can"...they can beat the Sharks tonight. Gotta stay out of the penalty box but be on top of any player who has the puck.

I'm actually curious.

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Have you, or anyone you know been exposed to asbestos in a navy shipyard?

The backlash is because rather than post your thoughts in an already existing topic on any subject matter, you create new threads. This thread for example, was just a string of random musings... what's the point? Some of your other gems include:

"Hamilton for Trouba trade. Why not?"
"Gaudreau - Backlund - Frolik line. Why not?"
"Watched all of the junior games...most impressed with Fox"


A random thought of my own... it's odd that your account registered in April 2007, had 1 post, then sat dormant for nearly 10 years before posting up a storm beginning October 2016.

Wow, the fans in Calgary are priceless. No personality, no opinion until Burke dictates it's ok to speak. No wonder the players feel little obligation to put in a good effort every night. We just have a bunch of English teachers with PC BS. What a very boring forum. I hope the Flames have better players than they do passionate fans. Hope I misspelled something.

I hope you have a 3rd account to fall back on in the very near future.
