GDT: Flames (9-9-2) @ Senators (6-14-1) @ 5:00 PM SNET-W

Can we all agree that the TSN broadcast is a million times better than the Sportsnet West one? Gord Miller is one of the best, if not the best currently, and Noodles is a great 1-2 punch. I love Hrudey but Rick Ball and Cassie Campbell just make butcher it. They are especially annoying when the team is losing lol.

I've never been a fan of Gord Miller for some reason.

I'm at a point where I'm just numb to this sports organization. Time to start anew... management... coaching... half the blueline..., and bring back Paul Byron because we've been cursed since the day we waived Small Paul.

I'm actually pretty speechless. Even in years when we didn't win a lot, we were at least a semi-exciting team. Someone might have to refresh my memory, but this might be the worst team and season that I can remember watching.

Worst on ice product since 12-13 when we tore it down, and on paper we have arguably the best team on paper since then.

Do you think it's worse than 2012-13? That was the lock out year so the sample will be relatively the same by the end of the season. I remember us getting dominated that year but we were middle of the pack in scoring. I think we were almost in last in GA though. At the rate we've been going this year, despite good goaltending, we're bottom 10. I dunno.

it is - because while the organization wasn't admitting it everyone knew that the 2012/13 team had aged out of their best performances, the team this season should be in their prime and should be competitive every night.

this team got blown out by the worst team in the NHL

had 1 goal in 5 of the last 6, 6 of the last 8

considering what we were sold, IT IS the worst

Yea that's fair, I think this season is probably worse simply because I expected so much more.

Here's every prospect ever under Treliving:

Congrats you've just been drafted by the Calgary Flames!

Fast forward...

You've had a really good few seasons in junior/college/Stockton and a great training camp. Let's keep you toiling in the minors for a few seasons while we deal with the dud vet free agent we signed with a blank check. We'll revisit this discussion next year.

Wow. Great rookie season for the Flames. We love what you've brought to the team. But here's why we need you to sign a two-way contract...

You've really exceeded expectations in your bottom 6 role. But it would be great for the team if you signed for under 2 million. Remember we own you because you're an RFA.

Ok. We finally have space for you to move up after buying out our 7th useless free agency signing. You're gonna have to play out of position but we'll look to address that any day now...


What kind of message does it send to the team when a career Flame who was recently dubbed as "one of the core" is immediately ostracized from the team following a public trade request?

And then what else do you think runs through the team's mind when the GM then goes on record to say that they'll decide when the player gets to leave the team in the crudest way possible, especially after this jackass strong arms every young player he's brought through in contract negotiations only to then cripple this team with vets he signs on a whim.

This team has every reason to detest this management team

Out of curiosity.
Which players had a good junior career, great professional AHL career start, exceed expectations in a bottom 6 role, and then finally got moved up deservedly?

I can literally think of three, Mangiapane, Andersson and Ferland?

Or are you worried about guys like Ty Wotherspoon, Marcus Granlund, Mark Jankowski, Brett Kulak and Olli?

I'm amazed some of you guys actually think other NHL teams aren't exactly the same as Calgary. Guys have to play their way up the lineup; we're a team that has 5 guys internally drafted outside the first round, or not even drafted at all, playing in the top 13 (top 9+top 4) spots of our roster. That's actually really solid by league standards.

The Bennett situation on this boards reminds me of participation trophy generation kids.

Incredible troll. I liked the office and parks and rec, but NBC comedies otherwise are typically horrific. Popped on first ep of this based on your review and must high five you for stealing this 20 mins from me w network cringe-humour.

Oof.

Edit. I'm also seething from our loss so turning on a show that to me is incredibly unfunny but knowing that's a subjective stance isn't fair to blast you for it.

For those looking to light me up for my own preferences I enjoyed Ted Lasso (apple tv+) and didn't think I would.
Dave on fx
After life on NF
Upload on prime.
Ooh and the cringiest of the cringe
Nathan for you on comedy Central (but crave for Canadians now). It's old but I just recently got to it.

These are some recent comedies I've seen that have really hard to stomach during annoying and or very cringe moments but are overall very good.

Superstore may be in a similar bucket where the positives outweigh the lowbrow cringe, but the pilot didn't do it any favours.

For more serious stuff I highly recommend Dark on NF (German SciFi series)
Devs on fx (from Alex garland who did ex Machina and annihilation and also wrote 28 days later and sunshine)
Zerozerozero on prime (from creator of Italian mafia show Gomorrah which I'm now watching as well)


Cheers folks. I realize all this should go in a different forum at this point.

My favourite show on TV right now is What We Do in the Shadows on FX.

I honestly liked superstore too

The expanse on prime video is amazing if your into sci fi

Disney+ just got the 1st 8 seasons of Last Man Standing...nothing like politically incorrect humour...

I've never been a fan of Gord Miller for some reason.

I like him, but his voice is so married to the world juniors it almost sounds fraudulent when he calls NHL games

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Miller is irritating to me. His laugh gets to me.
