I actually will feel bad for CAS if when you lose Pettersson... losing a star due to incompetent decision making at the management level kinda sucks if you ask me, an expert.

Edit: I'll still find it funny though

I finally have daylight to try and watch a hockey game tonight and the Caps are playing... the Flames. Cool.

My condolences, they're still a really boring team to watch even without Sutter.

I hope Matty Philips gets a hat-trick.

BORING

It especially hurts because both menno and I know that if the Flames had played this properly and Treliving/ownership weren't complete idiots, they would have realized their tiny window just slammed shut when they lost two 100 point wingers within a couple of weeks of each other... sold Weegar/Huberdeau/anyone with value at last year's trade deadline for a boatload of picks heading into a strong draft class and actually re-tooled for a few years and come out the other side stronger.

Instead, NOW, I think the Flames are going to re-sign Lindholm to Darnell Nurse money/term and in 5 years the Flames will be paying $26+ million to three forwards that are aged 38, 35, and 33.... just in time for a new building!

I don't think they even sold out the home opener.

Markstrom posting the same save % as last year and learning a zone defensive system instead of man-to-man has made them a dumpster fire in their own end... and yet somehow, still better defensively than Edmonton.

Normally I think players coming in real slow on a shootout attempt is a mistake and they'd be better off skating down hard, making one move and taking the shot. But against a goalie who clearly is messed up mentally right now such as Markstrom, slow as possible is a good strategy. Give him all the time in the world to think.

I hear what you're saying but the guy is so broken mentally that kuznetsov could probably have just called his shot ala owen nolan and that's enough to break Markstrom.

I don't have any opinions one way or another about the Calgary Flames in general, but that makes them worthy of their loss to a goalie who was 0-11-0 in his last 11 starts.

He'll probably get a game or two, it was a stupid hit... especially given the time left and the score.

Semimonthly reminder that Noah Hanifin is a very overrated player who constantly screws plays up because his instincts are awful. Whoever trades for him and gleefully plays him 18 a night is going to get worse and wind up mystified trying to figure out what happened. (lol it will 1000% be the Oilers or Maple Leafs) He looks a LOT better than he is.

Yeah he's just completely average at everything, it's almost remarkable how unremarkable his game is... but 600+ games and only 26 years old, veteran leadership baby!

It actually does because it's saving management from themselves... they were going to sign Hanifin to something absurd like $7.5 a season for 8 years and were actively working on Lindholm and they've walked back from contract extensions now.

I mean when a team with as much historical success as this group starts the season 2-7-1 you gotta work as hard as possible to keep that group together. :ughh:

Last night was a perfect loss, rookie debut for Zary and he scores, team plays actually somewhat interesting hockey for most of the first period, shits the bed completely in the second and then play a pretty good third period.

Jonathan Huberdeau has 1 secondary assist in his last 6 games and was benched in the final minute of the game down by 1 for the aforementioned rookie who was making his NHL debut because Connor loving Zary was playing about a billion times better than Huberdeau.

They also gave him the Gaudreau contract and apparently expect him to carry the puck like Gaudreau instead of distributing the puck like some guy who supposedly had 85 assists in season once.

But he also iced the puck on the powerplay last night so who the gently caress knows...

I heard he got benched, I actually haven't watched Gaudreau all year but 1 goal 5 points in 12 games ain't a great start.
