Come on now, while I'd agree dahlin would be nice we all know that both our teams will finish the season above both Arizona and Edmonton.
We're gonna whip you really hard tonight...

Canucks have been ahead of the Flames for most of the season, have 2 more ROW'S then the Flames and are a mere 1 point behind the Flames in the Standings after a 4 game losing streak, and could be 1 point ahead tonight. So whats Calgarys excuse. In the sense of the word "team" I argue the Canucks are a better "team" in the truest sense of the word. despite injuries there are equal to Calgary in the Standings? Canucks have better team structure it appears with not as good a goalie, with better goals against and special teams. Does that mean the Canucks are a better"team" and the Flames have perhaps a few better top end players or a healtier roster with better goalie? But not as good a team. I submit the Flames are closer to the Canucks as a team in terms of quality as they are in a rebuild and injured as the Flames fans want to admit. There both non playoff teams. The Flames arnt a contender nor are the Canucks. This isn't the Flames underachieving, or bad luck, there just not a playoff team based on merit same as Canucks.

You guys sit on your own blue line and wait for powerplays for most of every game. And great: you managed to transition from poopty boring trap Coach to decent boring trap Coach. What a time it to be a Canuck fan!

And the Flames get better down the stretch. We actually only moved into a playoff spot in February last year.

Absolutely atrocious officiating against both teams so far this game. Several phantom calls already.

So do you think there's more or less than a 50% chance that Jagr retires before the season is over?

I also think the chance Gulutzan gets fired this year is about 0%.

You're basically playing an expansion roster, and not the Vegas kind. The kind when teams could protect 20 players for the expansion draft.

I may be in the minority, but I still don't think there's any reason to fire Gully. We're playing good hockey at 5v5 abd have been for a while now, and I think Gulutzan deserves a lot of credit for that. Our PP has been struggling a lot since Versteeg's injury but that's probably more on Cameron than it is on Gully.

ahh okay

Yeah, he looks finished. Still good mentor to have around I guess.


Vegas is getting lucky, but they're playing good hockey as well. Probably not as good as their record, but not as bad as some people think either. Marchessault is a beast.

Why Florida gave up on him was baffling to me ...maybe they thought his good year was a fluke lol

I was excited when they signed Jagr but now I just get excited when he gets off the ice
