I don't get offended unless I have high personal respect for someone how is this an issue? I respect that everyone is entitled to opinions and their right to voice them and be respectful, but let's not forget how we got here. My comments were simply made to show that I am not personally or professionally affected by the comments of individuals I do not know.

In order to be offended I first have to respect you and your opinion. Now this statement is not personal nor should it be offensive, I don't know you personally to be offended. However, I will add that you do this constantly to multiple people on here who Don't see your opinion, which does offend them. If you or others wish to believe this club is on track to hoist a cup now or in the near future fine, I don't share that position. My statement was and still is you can toss these players in a bag and shake the crap out its not going to change the ingredients you started with. We were a juggernaut in the mid to late 80s every year for 5-6 years this franchise iced a team that was a huge favorite to win a cup, there are my standards. If the goal is to win then losing should not be accepted, what I see is too high of a comfort level and excuses that justify losing far too often.

Sutter bahahha yup its his fault. Strange how positions and personal change but the justification for the same results actions and excuses are acceptable. We have a roster of good complimentary players that all.

We can redecorate the Titanic but we have to come to terms with the fact that just cosmetic reconstruction is not going to change the outcome. We have complimentary players, name an elite player on this team. It has been to be done by committee and that's the issue. If they don't play as a unit the results are OT/ Shoot out loss or a Loss, plain and simple. In the last two games, we have lost both games with a 2 shot lead. This club needs 3+ to win, Marky is better but lets in one muffin a game. You can blend the lineup all you want, the results will always be the same. Until you acquire a stud top 3 player, we will be nothing more than average.

Good for Phillips tonight a bit of bitter revenge. That shot by Sharogovich was something, that's a shot wow, now use it. The rest of the game 🤮, typical Flames fashion good 1-period Satoshi Nakamoto for the rest of the game. I really love the creativity of our power play, it's just lethal.

I could see there is a struggle with D zone coverage but it's mind-numbing that you are incapable of recognizing that it's not a good thing to be behind the opposition when you don't have the puck. Or the absolutely brilliant creativity of taking shots from the outside and missing the net and everyone is behind coverage or funneling to the net when everyone is behind coverage. What is really troubling is the inability to stop turnovers....have said it so many times these players are incapable of playing when under pressure, every coach of the opposition knows it. A perfect example was Mags on the first goal, trying to force something that is just not there, the D can't make a simple exit pass however the forwards and support are on the other side of the ice. It is junior hockey crap that just doesn't work. I like Huska and Conroy but you have to know your demographic, this group of guys is 100% incapable of playing this style and the inability to not come to terms with that is whats concerns me the most.

The WHL beer league style Huska wants to play is not going to work with this group. The past two games have been extremely difficult to watch, give away after giving away lazy dumb-Hash Rate penalties slow, and very little offensive pressure. Our supposed great D-man have been pylons... The positive so far is Marky, I thought Corranoto looked tired and overwhelmed till the goal. They are extremely lucky to be 1-1, they deserved to lose handily in both games. Best thing is they are happy and enjoy coming to the rink at least that has translated into much better play this year.

100% I am glad I am not the only one that noticed that. He isn't that affective in my opinion, Tanev usually makes players look better but not in this instant.

Phone the cops as the Flames stole one, if not for Markstrom they get clobbered. The new system Huska is loose for my liking. They had far too many turnovers and got drastically outplayed lucky to get away with this one. The lines were just in a constant blender. Take the 2 points

The only way this club is successful this season is stellar goaltending, better D coverage, and some offensive balance similar to the Kraken last season. Without that happening it will be a very long season. I am mildly optimistic that the gleeful departure of the last coach is enough motivation to create the outcomes everyone is hoping for.

Huberdeau-Lindholm-Dube Sharangovich-Kadri-Coronato Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman Hunt- Ruzicka-Duehr Aj Greer Hanifin-Andersson Zadorov-Weegar Oesterle-Tanev Gilbert Markstrom Vladar That looks better, Hunt & Scwidnt for me just didn't cut it

The systems Huska has them playing are just so much better to watch, the turnovers, never leaving our zone, more turnovers, poor coverage, and of course the intimidation factor of the speed and accuracy of the passes oh my god it was just so invigorating watch. Markstorm with the 1st shot goal start, the offensive creativity is just mind-blowing, the d zone breakouts are world-class and the liberties taken on prospects were actually entertaining to watch. It so nice to see the players in their happy places all excited and more energized for the season, it's going to be so much fun. However, sarcasm aside, Let the 2023-2024 season of Satoshi Nakamototy excuses begin!!!

Well in hindsight was it not the city that created the issue to begin with? If the original deal had been followed through on this would not be an issue. I think I mentioned a long time ago, that this would end up costing the tax payers and city more in the end because of bad decisions at the council level. This problem is a pandemic in most cites with poor decisions at the government level only to cost more in the end, not surprised at all by this.

Well so much for my thoughts. For me, Schindt and Hunt are just too far of a reach even at 4th line minutes. The Coronato with Backs IMHO they are trying to establish the Mag's effect and hope Corronato elevates to a huge producer while sheltering him for the first little stretch. I love Dube but the guy is not that great at putting the biscuit in the basket. Not a fan of Osterle just think he is going to be a huge liability for this team

Personally, if you asked Zary 8-10 minutes in the big league or 15 -18 minutes in the AHL, pretty sure he would take option A. With the way the roster is lining up we have no option but to settle for skill versus size. I for one agree that without some form of inimidition other clubs are going to take liberties with skilled players. Zary is my choice at 4th line Center right now based on observations of the preseason, last night's game was the defining factor. Schwindt and Hunt were overwhelmed last night and it didn't seem to affect Zary. Really it is going to be musical chairs anyway on the 4th line. Coronato has proven he can play so has deserves a shot at the top 6 until proven otherwise. Ruzicka, Sigh I give him an opportunity in the top 6, man the guy who has it just doesn't use it, would be extremely frustrating as a developed person or a coach as its great than crap there is never a middle ground. Sharangovich really has been very underwhelming IMHO. He has the speed, very defensively sound, but this shot that Conroy speaks of has not seen it. Putting him on the 4th line with Zary and Duehr IMHO is not a bad idea. He is going to be a great skater and he will be vital on the penalty kill as well. So it's not like he isn't going to get 12-16 minutes of ice time. I think Klapka should be your 13 man on the forward roster
