The Wings just can't get it together tonight. Go Flames!

Yup. I'd also add in that it's 5 games in. Still studying options, not displaying them.

There are definitely messages there to both sides of the equation, "all in" and "tear it down". SJ was so close, so long, couldn't admit a rebuild's needed. I expect ANA to be half way good by midseason. My point being, be thankful for what we have. Being a Wings fan it took a lot of fortitude. When Stevie announced he's leaving.TBay we wanted the GM Holland shoulda stepped aside for. Then he ran away to Edmonton while we hardcore sucked.Thanks Holland. Be careful of what you wish for.

I think we can all agree that it’s distressing and shouldn’t lead to more questions than answers. But here we are. He’ll be asked mightily when he comes back. Yet zero getting ahead of it, like ie isn’t even in the cards.

Is it safe to talk about this yet without rumours? Kylington on personal leave is now over a month. No timetable for a return, just a shroud of silence. I’ll leave it at that. 5 games deep and not a shift for Ruzicka. How long can this last with our closest prospect? He needs playing time but is a risky waive to get it for him. Tough gig for a young guy on the borderline. Can’t be helping his confidence. Thoughts?

Damn. It’s early, but my written list for bottom 3 was SEA, Van, SJ. Then last minute no love for Seattle. I’m surprised some ranked Van to be solid. The roster doesn’t suggest it, especially on D. At least imho. The worst rosters for me are clearly Van and SJ. Their bottom 6 and bottom D are cesspools of mediocrity. Not to mention G. Demko’s good, but he’s not that good.

Could be safe to assume Kerins will go ham in the E but needs to stay awhile for icetime? What are the 1-3 Cs in the A? Is Ruzicka officially a predicament now? Not playing and would likely get claimed?

Still early but 3-0-2. Completely blew the Chicago game should be 4-0-1. The OT loss being to LA in an evenly matched game. They’re fun to watch, even with Seider and Raymond starting slow. Kubalik taking full advantage of Bert and Vtana being out. Depth is everything rn, they’re using it.

We’re moving too slow to start. The Canes play a relentless “on you” game. Get moving. Don’t think, just do.

Thanks!! Markstrom, get your head into it.

I think SJ did a nice job. Nice lines, cool colours. Pretty sharp. I’d actually wear something like this on the regular. I may get a Meier one. Then random people can say, “oh your a Sharks fan”. “Flames actually. What do you want for Meier with retention? Done”.lol I still have a Golden Seals pennant.:)

It’s become very odd. This is a loooong personal leave. Silence is never the way if it’s personal issues, though I’m not saying it is.

Good game Sabres.

Shorty time.

JFC Huberdeau is pure chaos.

Keep up the momentum.

win a period!

Time for the refs to give us a pp and make a game of this.

They’re playing high risk to hold the O-zone. Chill that out and it’ll be fine.

I think the biggest problem is Buffalo goes on the road and gets jacked that they’re not in Buffalo.lol

Dahlin looks spectacular. Makar’s got competition.

Hanifin is really conservative at the O blueline. EVERYONE’s trying to hold it tonight. Buffalo’s exposing that huge. Get the puck behind them and run.

Defence cheating way too much again. Trying to hold the O blueline way too aggressively.

Mangiapane can’t screen his goalie and then be non-committal on the block. It hung Vladar out to dry.

Is everyone ready to stop trading Hanifin yet?
