Miromanov gonna win the Norris next year 😝

I have to give Huska some credit at this point. When they buy in they can be one of the toughest team to play against.

What a great push there! This team plays so well against the top teams…except for Florida and Carolina and Colorado but everyone else can get it

The team was looking deflated until Ygor scored. I don’t think the Markstrom rumours and imminent Hanifin trade are helping things. We’ll see just who takes the helm with the “next man up” state the Flames find themselves in. Should be an interesting upcoming week!

This trade has more to do with asset management than tanking, if we flip Markstrom as well than indeed it’s a tank job but I believe the organization still believes playoffs are attainable this year. I do think the Flames are better defensively under Huska’s zone system so hopefully losing Tanev doesn’t disrupt that too much.

Nice trade for Tanev, he’s a warrior but the guys turning 35 and a UFA so glad we got some futures and a prospect for him. I trust Conroy enough to know he’s not getting fleeced, he’s carefully weighing these offers and returns. Hanifin will be an interesting one, he’s getting us back another 1st rounder at the very least, I don’t think the Flames move Markstrom …they aren’t tanking on the season just yet

Not a great trade by Conroy but I’ll assume this was the best offer available. It must have been a pretty toxic situation if we couldn’t wait until closer to the trade deadline where teams tend to overpay. Conroy sitting at around a C- so far for me. We’ll see what becomes of the cap space and picks I guess

Gonna start looking up the top draft prospects for next year, looks like it’s all this team has to look forward to

The team is worse then we thought.

We are drafting top 5 next year

If they can’t score or Atleast garner some shots on a 5-3…

How long do they give Huska?

It would be an interesting swap. Hanifin is proven and still young , Lafrenier is still finding his way in the NHL. Huberdeau -Lafranier-Pelletier Kadri-Lindholm-Mangiapane It could be a start…I think we get a better player back than Lafrenier for Hanifin tbh. Been months since I’ve posted on here…the team is even more of a mess than when I left! Happy Summer and Canada Day (belated) to everyone. Looks like our Flames need some work!

If BT has essentially dialed out from being mentally, emotionally drained that’s a tell tale sign of the toxic environment he had to operate under. GM role is taxing , exhausting and stressful but it can also be very thrilling , rewarding and fun. If BT was finding it was no longer fun or he was losing his passion of being the GM of the Calgary Flames that’s indicative of the ppl he’s ultimately working for..the owners. Im sure BT still loves hockey and the GM position , just not with the Calgary Flames. Same way Gaudreau and Tkachuk didn’t want to continue their careers as Calgary Flames. These are elite players and high quality management all opting to leave this organization within less than a year. There’s toxicity within this organization and it sure ain’t creosote!

Truly won’t be rock bottom and full reset until there’s new owners. This should be as close as we get…but you know they’ll be preaching how this team is “knocking at the door”! A rebuild isn’t what Huberdeau, Markstrom, Kadri or Weegar signed up for so expect another quick “retooling”. Lost its 2 biggest stars this summer as they didn’t believe in this organization, when your playoff trend is still “in one year, miss the next” it’s easy to see why. No new arena deal, a divisive coach and a toxic ownership group. It sounds like we have some work to do here

Sutter will be back 💯. He got what he wanted with BT gone. The Calgary Flames are more of a disaster than any of us could have seen. This entire Apple is rotted from top down through to its core

Pretty disappointed to see BT leave. Sure he had his moments but he was a more capable GM than most. Atleast he made Free Agency and Trade Deadline exciting again. Get ready for quieter times. Clearly this organization is struggling, you don’t just walk away from an NHL GM position without good reason. So now the focus of our problems becomes the Owners. The one constant. Personally I have no idea about candidates for this GM position. Maloney doesn’t instill great confidence, he just feels like he’s semi retired here. The vibe around this organization stinks right now, we are legit heading towards rock bottom

This makes me absolutely disgusted to say but you’re probably right 🤢! The coaching for the Oilers has made a complete difference, they no longer bleed goals. They seem to score at will, their PP is near guaranteed to score and they somehow have solid goaltending. Three 100 pts scorers, career years for most players across the board, they look the part…finally! However playoffs is a different beast. I’m hoping for a classic Oilers 1st Rd exit but they could legit win it this year 🤮

This is pretty much the end I dreaded but knew was the likely outcome, Flames go on a useless push only to fall short a few points. And here we are…right back to purgatory, another middling season, already putting the weight on kids like Wolf, Coronato, Pelletier because they’re all we have moving forward. This team has a lot of issues that need to be addressed this off season. What team puts up so many useless shots only to lose games to the point it becomes their identity? That was essentially our blueprint. Tough year to watch, seemed the negatives outweighed the good stuff this year. It’s been another pleasure watching this unfortunate season with you Flames fans! On to the off-season !

Final game of what was a painful season! Nice to see Wolf and Coronato get a look. The fact we’re still struggling against the Sharks reminds me how we were not an entertaining team to watch at all this season.

OTL shootout loss. A predictable way to end the season. Stick a fork in em!!

It’s been hard to believe in this team as they really haven’t been convincing all season. This little push for the playoffs is cute but I still don’t believe the Flames are playoff worthy. If BT sticks around it’ll be interesting to see what we do with our 1st rd pick. The inability to get a lead and maintain it, the inconsistency, constantly chasing the game. It’s exactly how we played with Wardo at the helm. Sutter was here to correct that but he may have already lost the room. Is it the players? Coaches? I’m sure it’s a mix of both, just always seems to be the case here. What next?!

See you guys next season!

Can you actually imagine this team in the playoffs??

Indeed they did but like u said they need to be up against it to play inspired hockey. So back to chasing the lead we go! IF they make the post season it’s already a recipe for disaster. If they lose to this Hawks team it’s exactly why we’re on the outside looking in. Lost far too many winnable games this year.
