The goalies themselves weren't the problem with the Flames, maybe it's the goaltending coach. And maybe we should have spent Markstrom's money towards a top-6 RW.

To be fair, Rittich isn’t playing a key role. But the expendable Brodie and Bennett are

Consistency has always been a problem with the Flames since Kipper. Say what you want about Markstrom but he was great early on and now towards the end of the season after recovering from injury. A clear number one who keeps you in every game and limits the amount of bad goals. The problem with the Flames is they have no push to come back in games.

Nothing the Flames do or don't do reflect on me. And anyone that thinks it does, including other teams' fans - is a moron.

True, so whatever I say should not bother you, right?

There're things I consider humiliating. Like wearing a Flames James Neal jersey.

With Talbot you are gambling on a mixed bag of results. Yeah he was good for us in the bubble and leading into the playoffs but would he have had the same decline he did in Edmonton?

Smith = Age

Rittich = Inconsistent and quite frankly hasn't been great since his stick toss.

While Markstrom wasn't quite as good as we hoped he was hardly the problem this year.

I dunno. What does it mean that Neal, Chiasson, Hathaway, Jankowski, Lazar, Forbort, Gustafsson, and Frolik, are in the POs?

Heck, even Shore, Czarnik and Bartkowski are members of PO teams.
