Here are the lines for tonight.

Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli
Dube-Kadri-Mangiapane
Ruzicka-Backlund-Coleman
Lucic-Lewis-Ritchie

Hanifin-Andersson
Weegar-Tanev
Zadorov-Stone

Markstrom

Either San Diego or Calgary depending on their departure time.

The boys need to spread out their puck luck.

Edit: If Lucic and that kid that dummied Kassian don't fight I am gonna be pissed.

Whoever's blaming Markstrom for tonight is a clown. This team desparately needs a coaching change if they want this year to go well.

Ya he would be an upgrade for sure.

Maybe Maybe just throwing it out there... only if we have a PP dominant player with skill ... oh i don't know... say PHILLIPS... You fcn loser of an organziation, give the kid a chance he deserves. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

Agree with the coaching change part.

It's tough to win with .890 goaltending.

Yeah Sutters the problem. I think he’s probably forgotten more than you’ll ever know. If you’re looking at someone to blame start with Treliving.
@tincup
Agree sub .900 goaltending won’t cut it.

Flames had 46 shots on goal, Habs blocked another 26, complete domination in that regard. Just ran into a hot goalie and the team was not opportunistic. Won't win many games when scoring only one goal.

F@cking markstom bench the see ya next tuesday

And that's kinda the problem. Must be a lot of hot goalies in the league because we can only beat the likes of Bob and Campbell. The PP did a lot of passing and some attempted stuff-ins, but only saw maybe one shot from the point. Maybe Ras in the spot Gaudreau used to man might give some different looks. Use lindholm at the point. Since we have bumped Hubey to the top line we have gone one and one. Ruzicka looks dangerous on any line, so maybe try him with Kadri for change.

It's tough to win if you cant score goals.

To me it seems that they are gripping their sticks too tight, trying to make the extra pass, or just taking low-quality shots hoping for a miracle.

They need to start having some fun out there.

On another not it sure is odd how so many star players have career years when they are looking for a payday.

It is but I think there's probably a learning curve for Huberdeau and Kadri with the new system. I think Huberdeau is starting to figure it out ..looks like he's starting to create more offense.

Sutter said 'There's a difference between the AHL and NHL'.

This is just getting embarrassing for both Sutter and Tre. We are not saying Phillips will come in and save the day for the Flames. But when our PP sucks this bad, and we have the most electrifying PP player in the AHL... CALL HIM UP! Give him a chance in the top 9 and see what he can do. He may surprise you or he may not, but then we know about what we have in Phillips.

Sutter has a 2-3 years shelf life. Just saying...

- LordHumungous

He does have a shelf life but it's longer than that. 4 years, 5 max.

What's happening with Kadri? He started on fire but no points in 7 games. Is he playing through an injury? He is too good for that level of production.

Our biggest issue.
