something about that, the pundits talk about the start, what if.... they have been playing a certain clip... they're not a playoff team. They didn't have a good start. They had good stretches. They had bad stretches. They had good stretches and more bad ones...

6 goal third coming on?

Safe to say, my playoff hopes are slowly dying 1000 deaths!

we should call up Wolf for the rest of the season...

apparently Miromanov played with Pachal before. I think that's who?

yesss! Please do! it's the org philosophies, not just the GM's. We like to blame GM's but we could have had Zucker when he was one to get. A deal was had but the owners said no. How many other deals like that. How many of us wanted to trade Valamaki? im just adding to your arguments not trying to contest them...

Manny, Oaky or Toky

my bet is now that the trade deadline tension is over, they all know they're there for the rest of the season. It's a load off and now in a reset?

The Sportsnet one isn't counting one of them yet, thinking the knights pick that changes off they win a round.

they let other teams set a price and then swoop in and say, ok, I'll beat that... let them haggle for weeks and then be like, ooh, how much they giving you? Yup, we want him, we'll give just a bit more than that.

Just looked at Sportsnet and while good we have two first rounders and 6 in other rounds, kind of still disappointing we only have 8 for this draft. Although I haven't looked yet, maybe having more in the 2025 draft is better?

Sounds like we just took a gamble on Honzek. I dunno if we wanna do that again this year.

The Flames have always been a "never say die" team. I think it's why I stuck with them once they went bad after the Cup win. They always fought hard in many games. Albeit, in the 90's and early 00's I only got to see them on some Saturday nights and whatever odd game they might have played the Leafs on TSN. Boy, getting hockey on tv was such a hard task. Just take what they give you. Similar these days, but nhl should make it so a person can pay to watch one team for the season. Maybe discount it? I paid for packages over the last 5+ years. After last years' Flames garbage, it sullied me so much I wasn't going to pay it, so old school, I now wait to watch the Flames on CBC Gem for free. Lol I should really say, the way they let Sutter run the show really showed me what kind of team the flames are, and how he treated people really was appalling.

they know they have to "get up" for the harder teams. It's the lower teams i am worried about.

ha! A lot of their losses have come to the lower end of the league. i think they take them for granted and then the upper teams take the Flames for granted. think it's the same old thing...

this is the thing, the Johnny Gaudreau situation all over. Did Tampa really want him? Or were they willing to wait for summer?

problem might be that he sucks next year. What if he's pissed and wants out and now dealing from even more of a weakness? Regardless, they should call up wolf and play him up in the bigs the rest of the season. Waive Vladar. Like Conundrum said, start watching how Markstrom scans the players and have Wolf start his book on them.

why not go for Funk or Heidt? They going higher? sounds a bit Mangiapane to me...

wouldn't Montreal take this years first if we do?

I don't get why Conroy had to re-sign Rooney now, why not in summer? Is he really that worried he won't sign?

How's the Russian district in Calgary? Ya know how cities have the different areas, like how Commercial Drive here in Van can be considered Little Italy. maybe Edward's has a new in for the Russian Mafia? lol he lives abroad to "evade" taxes, so maybe he's got new investments...

I wonder what for? who is that guy? A player or AHL depth?

Thing about the flames is, it's hard watching them tread water and trying to empty the water in the boat at the same time

being a flames fan is a bit painful, we know pain... 😆

sold their souls!?
