The vets don't want to get hurt going into off season and even the rookies are playing out the string.

You don't even have to actively tank to tank, they just don't need to play even 80% to ensure a loss.

I can't blame and them. I wouldn't either. Burn the tape, enjoy the off season and see what comes September!

Yeah, it's not a natter of trying to lose, it's motivational, especially in the non-fun aspects - defensive hockey, details, etc.

Gonna be hard to lose to Anaheim, but they've shown in the past that it can be done. The back to back should help with that.

It is absolutely imperative that they lose to Arizona on Sunday. Forces them ahead of us in the standings. Big -4 point game.

Then they play Vancouver. Even if they were playing a strong game, I wouldn't give them much of a chance based on the talent differences. That one should be easy.

Then the last game against San Jose. Nearly impossible to out tank that group, so I fully expect a win.

Just lose out down the stretch boys. Finish the job.

This is the Flames. They'll beat Arizona and finish 1 point ahead of them in the standings, then Arizona will pick Iginla right before Calgary.

People can’t give tickets away this last month

You can find extremely reasonable tickets for sale for any game right now

And yet …. People aren’t buying them ….

Hmmmmmm

Stop drafting franchise centers and trading them to Vegas!
