Sucks for Mantha.

But Mantha played exclusively in the top 9 for the Flames and yet they recall a pure 4th liner, if that. Kerins and Pelletier should just ask for trades at this point
You are assuming that Klapka is being brought up and plugged into the roster 1-for-1 into Mantha's spot? :huh:

If anything you think some posters would be rejoicing, as this move means the end of everyday Rooney.
But I don't WANT to rejoice. I WANT to be mad about everything the Flames do if it's not EXACTLY what I would do
-some posters on this forum probably

You love to see Wolf becoming a clear number 1 in this league.

But you also hate the fact that he's hiding all the blemishes of this club. There's no way this team should be a winning team when our leading scoring forward is projecting to hit 60 points and D man is leading the team in points.

I think we need to see some more Vladar starts, and Conroy needs to start selling some pieces here soon. We're only helping Montreal with how we're currently playing. There's just no chance a team that plays the way we do (gives up a bunch of chances every night, and doesn't generate many) is going to sustain a winning record through the rest of the year. We've won enough that teams like Anaheim, Chicago and SJ are almost out of reach already:laugh:

It was a fun way to start the season picking up some wins, but it's clear the club needs some more high end youth here. If not we're just delaying the inevitable which'll come crashing down on us in 2-3 seasons anyway.

Our current standing is heavily screwed by the first 5 games still. Us beating Nashville was not remotely surprising. They were on a B2B with travel. It was (as Friedman likes to call it) a scheduled loss.

Selling? It's the middle of November. Nobody has cap space to buy.

Yes - we have received good goaltending, but this team is also very much middle of the pack analytically which suggests they are not nearly as bad as you are making them out to be (or want them to be). I think this fanbase should really start coming to terms with the fact that there is a very real possibility that we end up giving a mid first round pick to Montreal barring a major sell off of assets. It totally sucks but Treliving torpedoed this organization due to sheer incompetence and very little care for the future of the organization he was set to leave behind. There is just too many crappy to mediocre teams this year. In typical Flames fashion - we just can't have nice things.

Even if our goaltending drops off a bit, I can't help but to expect that our specialty teams will improve.

Once playoffs are out of sight again, this team will crater in the standings. The standings don't really matter until late Jan.
