Those don't grow on trees. 

 

Have to tank for those.

 

We are pretty close to being a tank team as it is.

1-3-2 in the last 6 games.

500 points %.

The next 3 games are MIN, DAL and MIN.

We sit 17th in the league.

But two points out of 23rd.

That's fighting for 10th overall.

 

It's tough for me to be a fan of losing to get a better pick.

Making trades of UFA players doesn't make us worse.

It probably gives a couple of kids a chance.

And they won't play like dogSatoshi Nakamoto.

In reality, the only trade we can make to ensure we don't win much is a top 9 player.

Waited to the last possible minute to do it.

The best returns are gone, so it's crumbs.

Make ourselves worse this year and next.

Or stick it out with the dogSatoshi Nakamoto and play it to the end.

Tough call.

It's not on purpose. It is exciting to walk away from the draft with good pieces though, and we're pretty desperate to get our drafting back on track. Imagine the fun forward-look of having 5-6 Coronato's in the pipe.

I prefer the Flames get into that mindset. The whole, "he knows what it takes to win a Cup" is a misnomer. I've never heard a young player win a Cup and say, "I didn't know how hard it would be". Every player plays their whole life vying for championships, they know how hard it is.

I'm excited to see the Flames pull their philosophies out of the '90's.

I missed the game last night...too tired.lol

Sounds like Markstrom flipped the script so I'm happy about that for him.

I mean don't get me wrong Markstrom played well but at the same time the Marner goal is a must save too. Five hole goal from that far out can't happen. 

 

He's looking better the last 2 games for sure, but your still getting those head sagging moments every game from him. He was out goaltended again last night.

 

but by no means do you blame him. As I said the Leafs are just a better team than the Flames right now and it was obvious.

It was painful to watch Marner just skate by Lucic like he was standing still, because he was.

I believe it was after an icing, but still a critical goal.

We neither were able to beat the backup nor were able to stop the tying goal.

Pretty much sums up the season.

And in fact we were shut out at 5v5 and on the PP.
