GDT: Oct. 24th - Flames @ Stars - 6:30mt - Snet Cgy

[Johnny Hoxville]

First stinker of the year, I'm not gonna get to low or high over it. It won't be the last either but hopefully they're few and far between.

 

[Fantasy Billionaire]

What the hell is Sven supposed to learn from this game? That the entire team cannot play defence? The Flames should should feel bad. Friggin' hosers.

That his line sucks without him.

 

[St Wardo]

Guys at least it wasn't 9-3, right?

I am on par with this statement.

Word. I didn't watch it but everything I've heard and read, sounds like there weren't many positives.

In a proportional sense, it was worse.

Someone want to give their summary thoughts on this game? I kind of don't mind having missed a 5-1 loss, but on the other hand I hate not having all the information.

I know this team can't keep the pace it has kept up to now. But I will keep cheering this team forever. As for our defense well my words can't express enough sorrow for that. And Glenny... I am not sure what his mindset is telling him but he is not the same player... Its almost like he just doesn't care(Almost). I get the feeling that more needs to be done before we buy into this mentality of win first and think personal achievements later. I know Glenny is an awesome player but I just get the feeling that he is not on board with this rebuild, or the way this team is run. Wideman while he is a great PP QB, I don't think that is what we need. Although I don't see him being traded. What this team needs is another Giordano, or if we can find one like Scott Stevens(without some of the hits) to lead this team it would be awesome.

 

[MarkGio]

Yup well they say the 10 game mark is the first good sample size for a team. I think losing Gio shows how bad we really are on the back end. I'm expecting a trade right away.

I freeking hope not. We need to rebuild, not patch our issues. I'm still upset about Urbom. Breen is uber slow so he looks out of place. I honestly believe SOB would make a good forward, but he's a lousy defenseman. Butler is too soft for being that lousy.

Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

[Noori]

Good night to have an Acoustics/Optics midterm.

 

[Anglesmith]

From what I can tell, Karri wasn't really responsible for the first three goals, but the fourth one was probably pretty deflating for the team. Looked like Wideman had a shockingly bad game, and the reunited GSS line was strong early. Looked like Monahan had a few good chances, too.

Would any of that be accurate?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys before we start saying let's trade away everyone, let's keep in mind we're gonna have rough patches. Wideman is not a defensive stud, but at times he's been very impressive this early season. Trading him would leave our D in shambles. Also the effect of not having Gio has been massive and Brodie has had a rough stretch. But I am worried about Glencross, if his head isn't in being part of a rebuild then we should look moving him for some quality assets. His play thus far has indicated he may not want to be here. But we should all take this with a grain of salt, but maybe we move him and keep Stemps?

Are people panicking and saying let's trade everyone away?

I am!! Trade Baertschi, he was INVISIBLE tonight!

Really, though, I haven't heard anyone say that, although people seem to be worried far too much about Glencross. He'll get out of it, it's not like he lost a limb or something.

I always get the sense on here that after a win playoffs are brought up by some, and after a loss (a bad one especially) that the sky is falling.

This team as it stands right now lacks high end talent, so some nights we will be outright beat. We just need to keep things in perspective. There's lots to be excited about but let's play our cards and see where everything falls. These are real people so not everyone can just be moved. But there needs to be a constant evaluation and the appropriate moves should be made at the right time so things are being done that are best for the present and future.

Tonight was a bad loss, but I just think everything that needs to be viewed at a broader spectrum. We probably won't know what we truly have here for at least 2 more months.

Glencross continued to be terrible. Also the team is dressing four bottom pairing defencemen.

 

[Sean Monahan]

our defense is awful when butler is playing top 4 minutes

 

[MarkGio]

In a proportional sense, it was worse.

In a non-linear algebra sense, its even worse than that!!

Time to tear down folks

ftfy

 

[Le Messie]

Even if you had the best goalie in the world right now, he couldn't make up for your defense.

Geeze this is like reading the Oilers forum at the beginning of the last few seasons.
