Somewhere tonight you have a Benny that can’t sleep, like he’s waiting to open his Christmas present. Benny turns the corner here and finds a consistent role....or he becomes a 4th line fill in for some team down the road

I am pumped.....actually excited to watch a Flames game again! Called for Dutter after Gully and after Peters. Finally! Makes absolute sense in my mind, the guy just wins. If he can’t turn this team around, this team ain’t turning around.

Scratched again....Wardo's favorite whipping boy. For gods sake BT, trade the young man already......this is getting beyond ridiculous and making the organization look extremely bad in my opinion.

COACH Daryl Sutter......😏 That’s who I miss....

The team had a look of defeat to me last game, no drive, no jump, no battle...going through the motions. Could this be a reaction to Bennett's scratch? By all accounts he is a popular teammate and the play of the rest of the team could have been a collective F you to Wardo for the benching. Very poor asset management once again when it comes to Bennett. If someone is sitting, there are several player that would be top of mind for me before him, Lucic being the first.

So now that the team that we should have and could have beaten with a couple favourable bounces or a little tighter play to close out games, walks through to the cup final after beating us....do we still want to blow our team up, or are we closer than we think? I’m going with the latter.

Touché

Yep....Neal with 30, and the Oiler’s still miss the playoffs! Lucic with 3......

Neal with yet another goal tonight this guy says he scores 30 this year......😕

And Neal scores again......still leading the NHL in goals with 8 on the year. I know he never would have repeated that performnce on the Flames team, but I still don't like the trade one bit. Neal at least had some upside, Lucic is a complete boat anchor as far as I'm concerned....both in play and contract.

I know that Bennett has been tossed around on this site as trade bait, but I think that would be a very bad move for the Flames in the long run. This year Bennett has changed his game and became a protector, agitator, and a physical force out there. He is on pace to tie his peak points totals and is making a real difference in more games then not. Considering he is only 22 years old I think he will be the type of player that, at 25, will be highly sought after in the league. I like the player he is becoming, and the player I foresee that he will become.

But i'm sure they could take out the seats and put in smaller ones if you're playing Peeps.....they'll only be using the edge of them anyway.....

Are you thinking he wouldn't appreciate a smooch for blocking a shot??

Is it just me or is Ramo starting to look better and better? At this point I would be comfortable with him as our starter for the next couple years. With the defense we have in front of him, and the high scoring offence we are trying to build, he should be just fine.

When do you think that we will get an actual retirement announcement from Kipper and the Flames? To date it has only been a strong rumor, has it not? Any chance Kipper plays this year?
