So Sunday it’s either gonna end 1-0 shootout loss or both team break out of their offensive ineptitude and it ends up lane 9-8 oilers

Oh god. I forgot it's them. We better not be the springboard for them to get chugging along offensively.

I think it's frowned upon but it's an attractive option moving forward.

Fine. Go with golden goose egg.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Yeah, criticism is warranted here. It's the ol' cliché to say it's early -- and it is -- but it's honestly trending towards not being early and we're not seeing anything at all yet.

This is getting precarious as fffff. Turn it around, guys. Or this season is going to be brutal.

The problem is most of these guys were here last year and we look to be going backwards. Could it eventually click with this new system sure, but it's not looking likely and it's hard to watch

It's not lost on me. I hate seeing the team look neutered and useless.

It's like watching the first 20 minutes of the first mighty ducks movie. If we're laying eggs, we should start practicing passing them.

This is a disaster on so many levels. Conny, the answers aren’t in the room. It’s time to pull the plug and commit to the dreaded “R” word

 

[Boomstick]

Don't have much to say, so why bother.

Markstrom was good tonight. If we every figure out the other 18 players, maybe we can win some game.

This team is in deep trouble

I don't recall a time where we were in a worst spot since I was born 32 years ago. This is just a brutal situation to be in... maybe worse then the sharks.

That's what really stings. The what could have been. On multiple fronts, obviously. What if the new additions just took off and didn't miss a beat. Or... What if we had said it's finally time to rebuild and use our assets smartly to facilitate that.

Ugh. It could turn around. It could turn around. It could...

*Fetal position*

 

[Bounces R Way]

I look at this team and I really don't know what they're trying to be. Like zero vision involved with the construction of this roster.

Are they skilled? no
Are they fast? no
Are they tough? no
Are they deep? no
Do they play great defense? no
Do they work hard? no
Are they at least young? no

literally none of the above. What's the Flames' identity supposed to be?
It's just a random collection of guys who play hockey.

Markstrom was excellent, other guy was good too but the Flames gave up many more unchallenged chances. Young guys were pretty solid, not sure what more you can expect from Duehr, Coronato, Solovyov, and Gilbert in a game like this. Other than that Mangiapane was OK and the rest of the team SUCKED.

 

[Boomstick]

0 goals in Alberta tonight.

Russians?

Add: extend Z

 

[TheHudlinator]

We traded away a first to get rid of a guy who would be tied for the lead in goals on the team. Sure it's early but my God the management of this team has been brutal.

 

[Felidae]

Fun fact

Tyler Toffoli has scored more in his last 2 games than the Flames have in their last 4 games

there is a new system?

I seriously can’t tell if there is a system

 

[InfinityIggy]

Mediocre Roster.
Mediocre Coach.
Mediocre Results.

Shout out to Markstrom for looking like the $6M goalie we all thought we were gonna get, finally.

 

[Boomstick]

Well have a great weekend everyone. I guess we'll talk Sunday unless something crazy happens.

Night Boom! Take care.

The Huska hire is bewildering to me. The guy has contributed to team failures which have led to three head coaching changes (Bill Peters was on his way to getting fired with his results), and yet we’re supposed to believe that he was the voice to lead this team all along

Budget hire. Murray wasn't going to spend on a coach again after these guys ran Sutter out of town and he has to still pay him.

It’s in the same vein as the Conroy selection for GM, tbh.

I think Mitch Love would have taken the job for less than Huska

Heritage Classic is just going to be fans in Oilers and Flames jerseys sobbing in the stands

Dryden hunt in the top 6… that’s an option.

Took 8 games to get booed off the ice. 8!
