2022 Cup to Calgary
Did the loss to Anaheim in the playoffs really **** with them? Or do they think they are too good to actually play hockey?

The rest of the division has caught up is all. Last year we got free wins in Edmonton, Vancouver, Arizona, San Jose and had pretty bad records against the rest of the league. Now the whole "Russell flops around the ice like a warrior" act is getting exposed for what it is - poor defense. Edmonton is an okay team, Arizona is an okay team, Vancouver is built to beat us, and Vlasic is healthy for San Jose.

Can't wait for players like Boilig, Jones, and sometimes even Stajan for their contracts to end. They can't create any offense.


And Hartley's gotta change the system, it's just not that friendly for puck possession. I know they've had alright possession tonight but still.

You're just wrong there. He has the only goal tonight, leads the entire team in goals ATM...

Hartley is borderline obsessed with transition passes and it's killing opportunities of offensive zone possession.

Not in the mood for sarcasm sorry


Unless you're talking his shoe that deflected the puck into the goal

I'm not being sarcastic.

He was driving the net, the puck went off his stick.

That's called generating offense.

If you call 30 points a year "not generating offense", then you must hate every Flame second-liner to the tune of Bourque, Glencross, Bertuzzi, Stempniak, Bouma and such who has played here for the past few years.

Yep, frustrates me to no end when players regroup and there's a SIMPLE outlet pass but the defenseman (coughRussellcough) ignores it for the long transitional pass. And then it goes for an icing.

Well, yeah. Bertuzzi is a piece of ****.
