Or maybe in.... Buf, Det, Edm, or Nash

You're welcome.

he said shut out twice in their last three games, which is correct, but undersells how bad it actually is.

You were nowhere to be found last year. Nice to see you back bingo lol

Don't worry Flames fans. Ek's rumour last week had TJ Brodie being traded to Pittsburgh for one of their back-up goalies. Might be held up because Brodie is in the hospital after mysteriously collapsing in practice. Once the Flames add a back-up goalie, I guess Cam Talbot would be waived.

That should help the lack of offense and secondary scoring which is the true issue.

works 60% of the time every time

Mechanical issues - aka, let's put these guys on a bus for 13 hours and remind them what the AHL is like... you know, just in case that knowledge might come in handy for a couple of them

“Last night, after a 5-0 loss to the Blues, the team was scheduled to fly to Philadelphia in advance of Saturday afternoon's game. Unfortunately, due to mechanical issues, the flight was grounded. Thankfully, there was nothing but an inconvenience.”

It is the kind of invaluable insight that only Ek can provide.

I am not trying to troll whatsoever, but I think perhaps you might understand why we disliked Lucic so much. The play absolutely DIES on his stick, he is one of the biggest liabilities on the ice when he's out there and it's actually worse than playing shorthanded because his teammates actually expect him to do his job and they are not in "defence mode" when Milan is out there. I think much of this under-performance has to do with Lucic...he's horrible. It might be embarrassing, but get him off of the roster ASAP.

The league is best when both Alberta teams are performing well.

(p.s. Tkatchuk is a punk...sorry...had to)

Good news is that CGY plays Philly. We dont do so well against struggling teams\players. Flyers are slump busters for everyone else

They need a coach who can teach them to be good men and good pros and play the right way each and every day!

Somehow Looch isn't the issue at all. In fact, he's managed to play on one of our only useful lines thus far. Strange for sure but true.

What does it say for the Flames when Lucic and Ryan have been their two best forwards lately ?

How is the rumour chart coming along...

Is Puljujarvi a Hab yet?
Did the Leafs get a #1 goalie yet?
Did the Canes become buyers now after surprising ALL of the skeptics who had them finishing last in the division?
