this team cant even make a pass properly, the 4th line hasnt taken a pass cleanly all season it seems
Time for ol' Burkey to call another meeting with the league.
These games have been fairly brutal all year and it's indicative of whatever ****ty system GG is using.
The more I think about it, the more I want Sutter brought in. I think guys like Ferland, Lazar, Bennett, Janks, and Hathaway would thrive under him. I wouldn't be worried about the top 6 struggling in his system either.
I'm not really worried long-term. I'm frustrated during a game like this, like anyone. But I think you need to kind of get a little carried away to think that this kind of lack of basic hockey talent will sustain much more of the season. I think when a team is struggling, you have to look at whether the root causes are repeatable or not. I don't think they are right now, which slightly assuages my frustration.
I'm sure the Flames will improve, I just really can't see them getting far with Gulutzan. I don't think he's the guy that can get the most out of this group.

Because every one of these points is caused by things like the inability to pass or receive a pass. And because we're talking about guys who have a track record of being able to make these plays.What About our failures isn't repeatable right now? This is manure.
- The bottom six can't score at all. The fourth line has been an absolute tire fire all year. They cost a lot and don't do much on the ice. For some reason, the coach believes they are best suited to play in tight situations or when we need to score... and has consistently placed them in these scenarios through the first 1/8 of the season
- our special teams are brutal. The coach believes that Versteeg and Brouwer deserve top billing
- the players we were counting on stepping up haven't outside of Johnny money and tkachuk. Bennett has regressed, brodie and Hamilton seem to show up half the time and are list the other half, and no winger has really taken any step forward
How do you see these points ameliorating
