I wonder if the panick is starting to sink in with Conroy Nope, he's in for the year at least. Players are going to be on the block. I don't even think the return will matter. You can't turn it around for your own play, then see ya. Lines shouldn't matter if you are bringing it yourself. You should stand out over the slackers. I have seen about half the players tonight GAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get better when too many players, especially the solid vets, just seem to be going through the motions. I'm starting to feel really bad for Tanev. He gets pressured with the puck on his stick and NOBODY is supporting for a safe pass. Hanifin moved further away from him on the turnover leading to the last goal. Is it no effort or are players just very mid? Just mid-curve Hanifin doing mid-curve IQ. Only capable of average reads, average imagination with the puck. Whole team. No game breakers. No one scares the Rangers. No threat to score. Doesn't help that our best D is suspended either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medatswhoP Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 The entire team is flat, no "want to win" hunger, somewhat I too put some ownership on Huska, but watch again in the post game interview he will spread sunshine and unicorns up everyones azz..

The_People1 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I hate this narrative that if the effort was there then the goals are there too. That's just not always the case. We just won't score even if the effort was there. The effort is/was there in the first period. Then lack of skills to finish dejected everyone. Now we go into the third period believing we won't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I expect a classic third period where Huberdeau and Kadri both feel the pressure to put the whole team on their shoulders and then proceed to do too much and over think.

travel_dude Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 So, we are down 2. Big deal, that is easy. Scoring 2 in a period is nothing. But, we have only scored 3 or more in total twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Hanifin has to be one of the worst Flames at holding the line. A simple keep turns into the Rags pushing him back and stealing the puck. Seen it too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 We seem to be the only team that can't defend close in chances. Rags have our number. Or perhaps we can't hit a barn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. @cross16, did you this year? @sak22 maybe? Good year to watch the Wranglers maybe? Suniev off to a hot start with UMass, prospect watch year? I REALLY liked Bell in camp. People say raw, but I don't even know what that means tbh. "He's got the raw skills". You mean, "he's got the skills"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
