The current coach sucks. period.
Love when there was that bad batch of flames fans last year after losing to the oilers who were saying “Yeah we’ll wait for next year”. They then get kadri and huberdeau and thought they would actually do something. This is so nice to see.
The oilers literally broke Markstrom in the playoffs last year. Went from a vezina trophy finalist goalie to absolute trash 😂😂
Definitely will not be making the playoffs… But in the last 6 games they'll somehow string together a 6 game winning streak for a sweet #16 draft pick 👍
why are we doubting them as a canucks fan in there remaining games look at their schedule they should at the very least be breaking 90 pts by the end of it
Huberdeau’s falloff has to be one of the biggest ever. He’s not even on pace to get half his points from last year.
We ain't making no playoffs. Fuck we don't even wanna go to the rink ffs. Get the fork out we done
I am a proud flames fan and always will be, but when my team sucks I won't deny it. !!!!!!!!!this year has been bad!!!!!!!!!!!!
4-1
Flames players have tuned out Sutter. DS wears out his welcome. Maybe because he's old school…
Ever thought that the coach was probably the main issue ???
It's been ugly in cowtown for over a year now. When the coach refused to let up on playing the goaltender with a double GAA (who was getting LIT UP) against EDM, I knew full well that the team wouldn't get far in the playoffs with that man at the helm. I never imagined they'd miss the playoffs the following year. I suppose the signs were there though.
Why is no one talking about the panthers who are even doing worse compared to last year? President's trophy last year and may miss the playoffs!??
Johnny hockey. 55pts, -24 on a brutal team but making $$$ with zero chance of ever winning a cup now. Great move! 🤣 Clearly winning not important to him.
Those New Jersey’s did no good at all. Whatever heinous creature that is.
I think that this falls more so on the guys on the ice rather than the guys behind the bench yes the coaches have a huge impact but at the end of the day it’s the players lacing up the skates on game day not Sutter
Couldn't happen to a nicer team
welcome to being an islanders fan
Only my opinion, but looking at the last 2 decades, I wonder if the problem goes higher up and Murray Edwards might be a bad owner.
Goalies when the kings won cups vs goalies now are two different animals. Tech and training come a long way in a short time
Sutter does not want to adapt as a coach. He has done his duty as coach in the past but he is a remnant of a time long past. Time to move on, perhaps retire.
The Flames are playing a system that worked 15 years ago (north/south, more dump-and-chase, big bodies with 4th line grinders, high shot-volume but low danger shots) that doesn’t work as well in today’s higher skilled and faster game. I bet you if you removed the contributions of last year’s top line from the expected goals calculation last season the stats are going to look depressingly similar to this year. Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk worked because Darryl didn’t coach them into the system and just let Gaudreau do his thing as long as he backchecked. This year Huberdeau doesn’t have that leash, and also Huberdeau generates offense with quick touches, not being a wizard with possession.
moov the team back to Atlanta! and…….oh……fire Suter
Right, you can't just take shots and expect a juicy rebound. You have to make defenseman move and the goalie needs to react and you need to wait for the opportunity to get quality chances, and if it's not happening or you need a change then shoot it or play it around the backboards. My question is why are they not at the very least giving the goaltender a harder shot to stop, by decreasing the length of the shot?
And especially letting sit young weapon on bench/4th formation when youngster proved that he can score or set up scoring chances (Ruzicka). I mean come on.
Judging on Games Played and Points, yeah I don't think the Flames have a chance this year
The Calgary Hitman (WHL) are right now the same but with a Higher Chance of clinching the Playoffs since they're only 3 points behind but they only have 9 games left in the Season
Calgary Wranglers (AHL) right now has a High Chance of clinching the Playoffs since they're right now in First Place in the Standings
In most games the Flames are starters, but not finishers. They need a real leader on the team that inspires them on a consistent basis by scoring goals. When the Flames were great they had 50 goal scorers. Where are those guys? Sadden to say I don’t think they will make the playoffs this year. Nice effort tho last night against the Stars. Great goal Toffoli.
Goaltending is picking up at least, and they've got a decent amount of soft games in the remaining season, they may just sneak in with a little help. imo though, people talk about it taking time for a single new player to get going on a new team – this team pretty much had its heart taken out and replaced ahah I think the future is bright, but really did not expect much this year
johnny hockey turned out way better than jonathan hockey
Love seeing the flames suffer, GO OILERS!!
