Another Oilers reject, Milan Lucic is now on the top line.

Ward is trying hard.

Top players nowhere to be found again. So damn soft. We need a real head coach.
Keep sitting on your hands, Brad. Everything is fine.

Another game following the same pattern. Extremely frustrating to watch. We could have had multi-goal leads in any of these last two games, but no. We take a billion chances to get a goal while we only need to have one bad play to allow one. The consistency with which we fail to score on two-on-ones and breakaways is mind-boggling.

I still feel like one of these games, the dam will burst and we'll actually convert some chances.

Bennett's the only player that gave a ****, **** this stupid ass team, just sell at the deadline and retool in the off-season. This core is stinky and it starts with the leadership group. If it wasn't for shootouts and playing in the pacific we'd be down there with Detroit and New Jersey. Bunch of bums going through the motions and cashing in their cheques, they should all feel ashamed.

I find it funny how Flames fans think it's less on the coach than it is on their give a crap meter.

I find it pretty crazy and unlikely how a team built by a GM who covets character, determination and hardworkers over any other trait...

as well as a team that is at least 50% built with players who's scouting report talks about how they give it their all every shift (Mangiapane, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Dube, Bennett, Backlund, Giordano, Hamonic, Andersson, Rittich)...

the same players that were known as the "cardio kids" and "comeback kids" for their refusal to not give up when trailing in the third period and led the NHL in third period comebacks...

have somehow suddenly lost all ability to show that they care.

Either the coaching is flat out putrid (which it is), we've somehow gotten the wrong mix of character to mess with the "gamer" in the players that care (possible) or the players just randomly decided to shut off their motor this season for no reason in particular (hmm... that's a hard sell)

Maybe because we lack talent up front? Last year was an anomaly. We are the same Gulutzan team of 2 years ago.

Bennett 20 minutes a game and a letter on his jersey. Make everyone else earn their ice time.
