[Felidae]

Lol I love the morons that have an excuse for Markstrom for every goal

People are defending Markstrom?

 

[DFF]

Why the f*** is Markstrom still in the net

Sutter wants to make sure he is finished…..for good

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Tanev is going to lose sleep after his game tnite. Been real ugly

 

[Bounces R Way]

Kings have won a 2nd cup in three years. sucked balls and bottomed out, and rebuilt into a contender since we traded Iginla.

The Flames? Have won two measly playoff series in that time. And yet we continue to bang our head against the wall acquiring declining assets and acting shocked when they predictably decline.

 

[Boomstick]

Ok gang. I've had enough. I'm heading to bed. Have to take my brother to physiotherapy tomorrow. He had hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago.
Cheers everyone, talk tomorrow.

 

[MM917]

Sutter isn’t the problem.

Wonder where the 2 posters left on the board are regarding that

If you think this roster is good enough you are insane.

There should be a few desperate GMs that bust in this years playoffs that our new GM can take advantage of at the draft.

 

[MM917]

Why is Keith Yandle on Sportsnet?

 

[BRobMint]

It’s funny seeing how Sutter stans tried to make it seem like Friedman was speculating. Maybe he’s just genuinely lost the team and players are finally fed up

Chicago won 3 Cups and have a very good shot at Bedard.

Flames management is so unbelievably incompetent and I don't know how much blame to put on Treliving because he doesn't own the team, if the owner(s) keep telling him to go for it he is stuck dealing with what he has to deal with. Never truly bottomed out and re-built (got 2 6th overalls and 4th, the 4th overall being a bust, big whoop) properly. In my opinion given everything Treliving has got he has done a good job with the team, he at least tried making them competitive this year, not his fault Kadri, Huberdeau, Mangiapane all are coming way down in the previous years totals.

Tkachuk and Gaudreau leaving should have triggered the re-build, all the fans were fine with it, but nope. And you got good assets for Tkachuk, flip them for younger assets, nope got to sign Kadri to an anchor of a contract instead (and Huberdeau).

 

[super6646]

Lanny is amazing:

YIKES. What a trainwreck.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Huberdeau is absolutely comically bad. What a useless tit lmao

Treliving is alright. He's done a relatively fine job. You need to do more than a relatively fine job to build a contender in a cap league. Especially for a small market Canadian team. I'm ready to move on, keep some of the scouts though.

Those two leaving should have triggered a rebuild you're right. My main gripe is and has basically always been that we continue to try to build around wingers. We still have no 1Cs and no 1Ds, and typically you have to acquire those at the top of the draft. The problem is ownership just wants to get that juicy playoff revenue every year. I think having a whole group rather than a single majority owner in this case is not so great. Ownership either needs to sell the team or commit to a proper rebuild, the two things we know they're not want to do.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Rebuild and Calgary flames; name a better duo.

Oil and water?
Garbage and a hot sun?
Banana hammock and Chris Farley?

We are stuck with this team. Wolf is elite and will keep this organization in 9th for a decade

 

[BRobMint]

That was a nice play by Hanifin

 

[super6646]

Cooll

 

[Bounces R Way]

f***ing fight him Nazem what are you waiting for

 

[Bounces R Way]

Welcome back to the pressbox Jakob

 

[Iggys Dome]

Am I a sadistic bastard for wanting see 10?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Am I a sadistic bastard for wanting see 10?

yes

 

[Byfield]

What do you guys think of Byfield?

And clearly the Sutter charm has worn off just like it does everywhere he goes

Good luck the rest of the way. Hope you guys get in over Nashville or Seattle

 

[fsanford]

Kings have points in 20 of their last 23 games, part of me wonders if they had any goal tending at the start of the year what could have been. Then again they may have not traded for Gavrikov if they thought all was well

 

[JurassicTunga]

back again tomorrow, eh?

 

[BRobMint]

 

[Bounces R Way]

What do you guys think of Byfield?

Needs to be more assertive physically. Good size and good speed though, better than any C prospect the Flames have had since... f*** I don't even know. The IQ at this point maybe concerning, all of the HoFers share that in common. Bennett was a little the same.

Screams late bloomer if he can ever put it all together.

 

[CamPopplestone]

How was Stecher an even plus minus with 16 minutes of ice time in a 8-2 game? Damn lol

Sutter is definitely a problem, and I think he's lost the room. But this roster isn't good enough no matter whose coaching imo. And it also seems to be a pattern in general with this team. Get a coach, have a good season, bomb out the next season and the coach loses the room, rinse repeat.
