Is that their version of CDC? There are like next to zero recent posts about anything. No talk about upcoming prospects the direction of the team nada. Are we really that much more into hockey or are the Flames fans realizing that they are going to relocate? jk. Seriously tho not even talking about their coaches being fired. I trolled the prospects section the most recent one was on Fox from back when they were still ion the playoffs. I kind of feel bad cuz you go back a bit and all the talk is how he might join them this year. Skip to a more recent post where they talk about Donato signing so Fox should be leaving Harvard as well. Then the tweet about him staying and then a few comments about how he isn't that good anyway and they should trade him at the draft. I guess we're pretty lucky all our guys signed when the Nucks wanted them to. Well, the ones that mattered. Can't blame Fox tho, would you rather stay at Harvard and chase tail while getting a free education or go to a team that has pretty much said were not going to burn a year of your ELC which seems to be the norm now. So basically wait till next season and then go to Stockton or go play at Harvard and probably have 30 teams interested in you. They also seem pretty bummed about taking Mason McDonald and Hunter Smith over Donato and Dvorak. Plus no picks till the 3rd round Man I feel a lot better about the direction of the Nucks. Sorry to go off topic just found it weird to see posts last visited in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 AV would probably do good things with Calgary, do the Canucks want to play against them that often? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Canucks Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lames are such a garbage oranization! It was hilarious to me watching people overrate them last summer, especially their garbage defense. This is a garbage team that didn't properly finish their rebuild and now they are paying for it. Suck it, Calgary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nobody at the beginning of the season had the Flames outside the playoffs. I had them as a contender." - Andrew (Canuck-hater) Walker They're getting themselves into Oilers territory -- some good young players, but then surrounded them with relative duds, prospects with poor/stalled development, and made questionable trades to sacrifice their future, while believing they were on the cusp of greatness. They're going to be at a crossroads and need to decide whether to continue on believing they are nearing contention, or do a medium to full reset.

I'd be very scared at what he could do with that team over time, but I would definitely enjoy him taking Edmonton on time after time. Calgary isn't as bad as they showed this year, and with a good coach, which Gulutzan has never proven to be, I'd peg them as a strong bet to at least make the playoffs yearly. I think they are worse then they showed. What we saw after the bye week imo is the true Flames squad. They have the most overrated D in hockey. TJ is a mess in his own zone as well as Dougie hell everyone but Hamonic suck in their own end imo. Hamilton can get points but he is soft as butter. MT is an overrated POS JH thinks hockey is only played on one side of the rink. Bennet... nuff said Sean Monahan Can't backcheck to save his life. Backland and Frolic I like Fox looks good but I think he bolts. Not much in the pantry and no picks and are at the top cap wise. Is Smith signed for next season? I like him but he's showing his age a bit. It looks like after just finishing a stretch of 7 out of 10 years of no playoffs, it might be time to shake things up and trade Gio, Dougie JH get some picks back and try a different approach. I think the flames and the Habs need to blow it up right from the top. Like others have said I would love to know how Gully really feels about the players. Is it me or do they not all seem like douchebags Except Backlund and frolic? sorry if I'm spelling his name wrong.. They need Torts to come in and whip their asses. Now that would be a hoot.

oldnews Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Not the surprising that Gully lost his job over that season. Gotta wonder if the Rags releasing AV is an opportunity Calgary is looking to capitalize on. AV is a great possession coach - likes veteran groups - would probably like the pieces he'd have to work with in Calgary. I love watching AV hockey - but part of my has trouble envisioning him behind the Flames bench for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they can play that card again. That group already tolerated a ballbusting Bob Hartley - and seemed to tune him out after about one season. Before him it was Sutter - and Keenan before that.... Maybe what they need is a modern coach lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Feel bad for Gully, he is the scape goat here. Flames need some leadership in their room. Smith (their goalie) and Tkachuk (who's 19) were the only two players willing to battle to win. Flames season was over when Smith went down to injury, Prior to the injury flames was sitting tied with wild for 7th in the conference, by the time he got back flames were 11th in the conference.

I think the flames and the Habs need to blow it up right from the top. Giordano will be 35 next season with 4 years left at nearly $7mil per. Not likely to get much in return, although they'd get something for Dougie for a team that needs offense from the back end (please no, Canucks). Just signed Backlund but they'll need him for veteran leadership. Speculation is using Brodie to get a pick, but will he bring back anything more than a late first? Not sure what they'll do, and so far Treliving like Chia hasn't shown a whole lot of aptitude the past couple off-seasons to inspire any confidence in reshaping the roster positively.
