    Yes, I'm predicting sometime near the end of the 2nd.. probably Luc to Ryan.

    Every year I get seduced into thinking the Flames are a good team. This year (so far) appears to be no different. Unless they figure out their shit sooner than later, there won't even be playoffs to think about. The only thing we can hope for is the team getting hot at the right time with a late season push and a fight for a playoff spot that carries into the spring, just like the Blues last year.

    Building the team around Johnny was always going to fail. He is not a playoff player

    Has their window closed? Was their window ever open? LOL

    The team has barely changed from last season (Neal for Lucic and Talbot for Smith) and somehow we fall off a cliff. Maybe they were just pretenders last season and they fooled us all?

    And lots of blame to go around, when every player outside of Chucky and Rittich are having significantly worse seasons this year compared to last.

    Johnny Gaurdreau a -10 with only 5 goals. Not producing anything offensively right now. Has been awful.
    Sean Monahan a -10 with only 5 goals. Invisible most games. Has been awful.
    Giordano forgetting how to win a norris or play defense really at all. Has been awful.
    Backlund not being able to score. Missed open nets multiple times and generally no finish at all. Has been awful.
    Brodie with bonehead passes multiple times a game. Has been awful.
    Bennett moving one step closer to being a complete bust.
    Lucic being Lucic.
    Frolik with 1G + 2 A in 22 games this season. Also posting up a -12.
    Tobias Rieder with lots of speed and zero offense. 1G + 0A in 17 games this season. No wonder the Oilers dumped him.

    And Mark Jankowski with 0G + 0A for 0 points in 21 games this season. Also posting a -10 currently. And hasn't been on the ice for a Flames goal yet this season. WTF man, do something!

    There's your summary.

    The scariest stat is that they haven't scored an even strength goal in something like 250 minutes.

    Peters is a babcock-esq coach. I honestly think the message he would send would not work.
    What we really need is a shake up in players. Bring up a few of the fast playmakers from he farm like Gawdin and Phillips. We don't need rinaldo/reider/jankowski/lucic etc. What we need is speed and skill right now, we need a team using their speed. The flames look so slow this year.

    Ya, I think the Hudler candy is starting to catch up to some of our top players.

    I heard about a month ago from a friend of a friend who's in the media department of the Flames that there is a huge locker room divide between the older guys (ie: Gio, Hamonic & Backlund) with the younger star players about their level of commitment. They had it out with each other and it wasn't good.

    Sure, it is all word of mouth, but there are enough people that have witnessed guys like Johnny skiing his way through downtown that there is definitely truth to it.

    An interesting tidbit about Taylor Hall, since i have seen his name mentioned in potential trade talks with the Flames. One of the big reasons he got shipped out of Edmonton was because he had a big opioid problem. After he lost his dad, he grew very depressed and he relied on opioids to numb the pain. It got so bad, the Oilers ended up putting him on IR although he was perfectly healthy. He was spotted a few times at bars drinking alone during home games, which is when the whole issue became more than what the Oilers wanted to deal with.

    Since when does coke slow someone down? Fuck I'd say the problem with the flames is not enough cocaine.

    I believe he has more of a Telly from Kids syndrome and it was (or still is) just a matter of time before that explodes.
