1. At least we don’t have shit goal and win songs lol

   We just have a shit team.

2. Oof

3. Huberdeau and Kadri are the worst forwards on the team.

   Do NOT sign Hanifin and Lindholm. It is clearly time to admit this team is not good.

4. Silver lining of tonight’s game:

   4th line still looked great, and Yegor got his first for the C of Red. Rebound and come back Tuesday!

5. Total 60 minute disaster. We killed off all their powerplays and still allowed 6 fucking goals. What are we even doing out there. If these guys cant right the ship in the next few weeks, we may be looking at a long term franchise disaster with our outlook. We have no elite young talent who we can build around, and even if we did, these Huberdeau and Kadri contracts aint going anywhere.

6. Early enough in the day to get drunk and have a hangover before work tomorrow

7. This team is fucking bad.

   I can’t see how anyone can defend huberdeau or Kadri’s contracts. They aren’t just meh, they fucking suck out there.

   And then we want to extend hanifin with this roster lol. They’ll be pulling 15k fans by New Years at this rate.

8. Absolutely shameful performance. I try to stay positive and supportive but that was probably most piss poor effort by this team I’ve seen in a long time. Fucking awful.

9. Wish this had been a home game so they could’ve been booed off the ice.

10. The news that we are about to extend Hanifin paired with such a disappointing start to the season may be an all time low for me as a Flames fan.

    Management just doesn’t get it

11. This may have been my fault… had to refresh my feed 3 times and each time it loaded with the wings having scored another goal. Sorry!

12. Can we sell off every UFA, bring up Zary and Wolf, hopefully Pelts gets back soon.

    It’s time to embrace the tank.

13. Well, we lost 4 out of the 5 games on the trip. Managed to piss away two games we should have won in classic Flames hockey fashion. And end up with 3 out of a possible 10 points.

    It’s a piss off as a fan to see the sloppiness, lack of care and apathy that this team plays with. Wtf do they even do at practice?

14. I’m tired boss

15. I blame the lack of proper GDT for this dumpster fire!

    but seriously, call up Dustin Wolf. What else does he need to do. Fuck, man.

16. This core just ain’t it. We need to blow it up before committing further to these guys.

17. The good thing about this team being a long couple of years is that at least time slows down for me to enjoy literally everything else in life, eh?

18. As bad as Huberdeau is i would personally rather get rid of Kadri, dude coasts and does nothing except take dumb penalties

19. Could you imagine being paid what Kadri and Huberdeau are and being this bad at your job?

20. Zadorov has been on the ice for 100 goals against so far. Bring back Wideman.

21. This team is absolutely effed with these insane contracts that aren’t paying. I know it’s only five games but I’m not seeing the team any better than under Sutter. Goes to show it wasn’t a coaching issue.

22. Why do players play better when they arent on the flames??? Two 100 point scorers do absolutely nothing as soon as they get to the flames.

23. I am officially team rebuild. This team is 100% certified NOT GOOD. We gotta sell our assets, draft well, and wait out the storm. Hello darkness my old friend.

24. I honestly hope we do bad enough to get a top draft pick cause this team isn’t gonna do shit in the playoffs if they even get in.

25. As they say in hockey. Let’s uh…play that hockey

26. https://www.espn.com/nhl/player/_/id/2562606/jonathan-huberdeau

    That’s our give him time to gel 10 million dollar man right ther’ zero shots let’s!!!!!

    FAK ME!

27. All aboard the doomer train lol
    Relax yall. It’s game 6 of 82

28. The team looked absolutely awful that game. But I don’t understand the complete panic just yet.

    Vladar had a .80 and It’s only 6 games in. There’s still a lot of hockey left. For perspective and to put everyone a little more at ease, we’re a point back of second in the division currently.

29. We don’t have anyone who can consistently put the puck in the net. If we can’t get someone from the trade market then we need to drastically improve our goaltending and we have one heck of a prospect in the AHL.

    Bring up Wolf, bring him up now. He is our last best hope of going anywhere this season.

30. I get it’s been 6 games but what exactly is Huska’s system? Like what is the goal? Just looks like 18 guys skating around.

    Doesn’t help he whips out the line blender literally every game

31. That was a really rough one. -4 for both Kadri and Huberdeau – love it /s

32. This needed to happen, for several reasons.

    1. Ideally, this will wake them the fuck up to realize that if they want to be anything this season they need to ramp up their compete level, it needs to be absolutely bare minimum the same it was against the Jets and Sabres. This team wins by committee and if you want to be part of the team and like to win, contribute

    2. If they don’t get fired up after getting embarassed then it’s good the meltdown is happening now so Conroy can start thinking about the future of this team

    3. Vladar aint it, we have known it for a long time and this should warrant Wolf a game and a chance to prove he can’t be sent down anymore

    I’m not really even mad or disappointed, they absolutely deserved to get spanked. You don’t win in this league if you show up every three games. Maybe they go on a run from here, maybe they falter. Who the fuck even knows with this team

33. If the team is gonna continue sucking ass, they could at least suck enough ass to land us a decent draft pick for once. No more of this squeaking into or just missing playoffs bullshit.

    TANK! TANK! TANK!

34. Poo

35. This team is so hard to watch. I really wanted to give this core a chance post-Sutter, but we’re just seeing the same thing for going on a year now. Love them as players, but I don’t think we should be committing to Lindholm and Hanifin. If we’re this bad right now, the same players on new contracts aren’t going to magically make us better. Its just hard to get excited for this team when there aren’t any star quality players anywhere in the organization.

36. Can I be honest, I feel bad for the young Flames fans. I got to watch a good chunk of Iggy and Kipper’s primes. Then afterwards came Gaudreau, Monahan and Tkachuk. Who’s the star players they have to look up to? Cause Huby seemed to have left his talent in South Beach

37. Been saying since day 1 of seeing huby play here, he is not that guy. He can be a good support to said guy, but Huby is simply not him.

38. That was fucking awful. Failing to accept easy passes. Missing the net every other shot attempt. No back pressure on rush chances. Total lapses on D zone coverage. Just total lack of focus.

    Everybody fucking sucked. I’ll give some stick taps to Sharangovich because he was about the only player who looked like they belonged out there.

    Complete disaster. This is Huska’s first real test… let’s see if he can get a rise out of these guys. I’m not confident.
