That would be a powerplay problem, and somehow despite us having the worst record league wide in one goal games and have the worst losing percentage in them, we also are tied for the least amount of goals with the empty net. Part of that is Kirk Muller is somehow still employed by this team, and part of that is one thing Sutter hasn’t updated with the times is pulling your goalie reasonably early. This team has the least amount of luck/clutchness this year with scoring timely goals. The second problem is Zadorov needs a much better partner than Gilbert (or even Stone) to cover his defincies.Well they've lost approximately twelve hundred 1 goal games this year so phenomenal isn't how I'd put it, but point taken.
Ya like I said I don't think there's any real obvious weak links. If they sign Coronato I'm not sure where he would play.
A few days ago I said these next 6 games were hell, and what have we done? Lose, lose, lose.
It's seriously time to sell and stock up on picks and prospects.
Lindholm, Backlund, Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov, Toffoli. Go chase your Stanley Cup, you're not winning one here anytime soon. Can't even get into the playoffs when the West is at its worse.
Trade all 5 and that could be 5 first round picks coming back.
I'm fine with that.
Regroup in the summer with some new blood.
The more 1sts the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
Wouldn't everyone want to just watch young kids develop and not worry about the standings knowing we're on the right track in doing so? That's what I want.
No, no, no. Once we stop calling them must win games, we'll win them all. It is the Flames way.

The forward lines have been rolling for a while now and the Andersson-Weegar pairing has been unreal, and Hanifin-Tanev should refind their chemistry from previous seasons. Markstrom has been hot the last game or two.
Toronto had a statement game and Woll is one of the better goalie prospects nobody talks about, Calgary’s play the last 2 games (despite two losses) has actually been super encouraging.
Attempt and results not the sameSutters way is an attempt at contention. Not top pick.
Johnny leaving was such a tectonic shift in this organizations trajectory I think it’s gonna take years to fully grasp what happened.This team just plainly doesn’t have enough skill. We had Monahan, Gaudreau, Tkachuk and Giordano and Brodie on the blueline who could turn some of these one goal losses into wins and points in the standings. Basically an entire roster of complimentary pieces were put together to support those guys and then we all know what happened.
Sutter is too old to think straight, team has an abundance of talent, get rid of him
