Could you imagine how bad this team would be without Tkachuk on it? Trade Johnny and Monahan and build the team around Tkachuk and Bennett.

Tkachuk and Bennett are the type of players to win you cups, not Monahan and Gaudreau who are too busy doing figure 4's and Spinarooni's in the playoffs.

To me it looks like they're lacking some serious game speed. Maybe it's just about the other team doing their job better and making Flames look out of sync. Anyhow they are definitely not looking like a team playing the modern game right now.

idk why anyone is surprised. A team led by smurfette isnt going anywhere, lol at the idiot he was even close to McDavid
Never forget

Comparing rosters here:

Gaudreau = McDavid
Monahan > Lucic
Versteeg < Eberle (but Versteeg is a proven winner where Eberle is a proven loser)
Bennett > Nugent-Hopkins
Brouwer > Pouliot
Tkachuk = Puljujarvi
Backlund = Draisaitl
Frolik > Maroon
Ferland > Slepychev
Stajan > Letestu
Bouma > Pitlick
Chiasson = Kassian
Giordano > Klefbom
Brodie > Larsson
Hamilton > Sekera
Jokipakka > Russell
Nurse = Wideman
Engelland = Davidson
Elliott > Talbot
Gulutzan > McChoken

We have no excuse to lose this one.

Flames GM thought the reason they lost to Colorado was toughness and grit (lol). They lost because Monohan, Hobbit and Captain Slewfoot never show up come playoff time. They are only good for 3rd period Gatorade fueled comebacks in the regular season.

Thankfully the Oilers are the benefactors of Trelivings lack of judgement - to tune of 13 goals to 0 - and we are only at the quarter pole.

Oilers fans talking trash. Your team is just McDoofus and Dressitle, and you had to tank to draft both. The rest of your team is crap, just like the Flames.

I do find it odd how they can look this bad this year after being an excellent regular season team last year. I think most recognized their limitations as a playoff team after getting dominated by the Avs last year and seeing how their best players performed, but they were a genuinely strong regular season team and didn't lose any major pieces sans Smith (and Rittich has been strong this year).

Giordano starting to really look his age and the Gaudreau/Monahan tandem continuing their slump that started in late January/early February of last season goes a relatively long way to explaining things, but they look like a very different team even outside of those two considerable issues.

Lames got lucky last year. They are showing their true colors this year, which would be turd brown.

They have the worst GM and they will continue to suck for a decade. No talent, no current star players. I will be enjoying when our team will get to meet them. :nod:

We also have Neal (13 Goals) and Smith!

Thank you for taking Lucic (no goals but lots of PIMs!!)
