Can't believe we're back to the prospect of not getting a new arena any time soon.

By the time they get another agreement in place it'll cost hundreds of millions more than the original $600 mil.

Francis did that interview with our fearless leader Darryl Sutter.

The way that guys speaks, tells me he did not like a number of players on this team, perhaps even some that departed.

Also him slamming this teams' endurance and training level when he joined is such a damn red flag for where we were two years ago. How shitty.

He did a lot to shield the team from criticism after the BoA series loss but I think internally he was very unhappy about how his players performed in that series.

The conditioning issue was very apparent when he took over. The team was huffing and puffing partway through the second periods of most games in the Canadian div

Tkachuk and Sutter had some pretty obvious beef

Sutter also recognizes that it's hard to win when your best player is a small winger

Honestly I don’t believe that. The Flames were extremely public about their want to re-sign both Johnny and Chucky. The Flames dealt Tkachuk only because he stated he would re-sign and both sides thanked each other for being so amicable during the process. I have no reason to think there were bad feelings. I think Sutter did request to bring in certain guys like Lewis and Stone to add a presence in the room though. There was an obvious leadership problem.

Michael Stone sees "forever a Flame" as a challenge.

Michael Stone sees "Forever a Flame" as a stepping stone (pardon the pun) towards a bigger goal.... collecting his own jersey from all possible professional hockey teams in Calgary. (Flames, Heat, Wranglers, Hitmen)

The wording of this tweet seems to imply that Hrudey will be our colour guy for every game and that Cassie Campbell-Pascall is no longer covering Flames games
