I am impressed that CGY has done as well as they have given the large loss of talent they have endured for the past 4 or 5 years.
If the flames do not make the playoffs I think the biggest problem will be the abismal PK.
If only Gaudreau and Tkachuk had stayed as Flames 🔥
I’m a Flames fan. And I’m sorry. But I’m sick of this team being nothing but pretenders. I’m praying that they fall off hard, and more so DO NOT acquire people at the deadline.
This team will, mark my words, get obliterated in round 1. Assuming the goaltending can even carry them there in the first place.
What this team desperately needs is to be a genuinely bad team for 3-5 years, and stack draft picks in the meantime. So they can actually build a team.
This team has never, not even 1 time, drafted in the top 3. Ever. Time to stop operating a team doomed to mediocrity. Sacrifice middle of the pack outcomes now, for far more success down the line.
I’m sick of watching this team try the same strategy over and over again.
As a Flames fan, they're a lot more fun to watch this year, but I'm not getting my hopes up about playoffs. Even if they manage to sneak in, it'll be a quick exit. The future looks bright, but they still have a long way to go. Wolf is great, and the team is playing well together, but they just don't have enough scoring talent to do any real damage.
The star of the Flames is the coach. Huska installed a system, that works. Conroy signed players, which want to play for the Flames. It works and is looking good. I hope, that Conroy kepp this rolling. The young guys have to play, play, play.
Greetings from Germany, your videos are great 👍
JFresh would LOVE if Zach Auston Reese got that huge extension
I don't think Vladar has done all that bad. He usually does the second of the back to back and he has not much offensive support in many of those games.
If you’ve watched any flames games, you’d know Vladar has played really well. He just gets the tougher games.
grow a Lanny moostache.
The only way the Flames will make the Playoffs is, if Flames management leaves Wolf in the net for 75 – 85% of the rest of the season. Vladar is god awful with his movement around the net. He is always doing a starfish on his belly when there is a scramble.
Just gotta get rid of that rat Kadri and a better captain and could be a good team
If Sharangovich gets off the shneid and starts scorring more, Zary nto out for too long; Coleman starts getting a few more goals too, then this team could catch LAK. A lot of ifs but solid defense and goaltending, good contributions offensively from the kids, Huberdeau having a rdemption season of sorts, Kadri Ok even; just need a couple other things going their way.
It is imperative Conroy doesn’t lose sight of the long term plan. Adding at the deadline is fine if they’re still in the mix for the playoffs, but they shouldn’t be anything more than rentals of one year remaining. Cap space isn’t a concern, but bogging down with more vets on long term big money deals would be detrimental.
Blues are going to figure things out. Calgary is going to lose again tonight to the Blues. Fowler has been really good.
Anderson and the core is gonna stay. He will be the next Captain of the flames
The west is WAY more competitive this year than the east. The 4th-12th ranked teams in the west are way more dominant than the top 8 teams in the east.
GO FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taylor hall will be a flame by march
Lifelong flames fan. First time seeing them in the playoffs was 2015 when they snuck into that wildcard spot and managed to make it to the 2nd round. I’ve never been team tank, I think it’s better to give your young guys that experience in the playoffs and to get that winning culture back in Calgary that’s been lost since the 2022 season. You tear it down to the studs you’re left with inexperienced players who get demoralized with every loss because the nhl is way more challenging than juniors or the AHL. Chicago, buffalo Anaheim are good examples of this. Those players look so demoralized. Zegras scores a goal and looks empty. Bedard got his 100th point and wasn’t even smiling. You wanna see your team succeed but you’ll have a better chance if your team makes you happy to be there, less likely to walk in free agency
Even if flames dont make its fun to see the kids do good. Dustin Wolf is gonna be a really good goalie for a long time
The team is fun to watch, I'm still wanting them to finish bottom 10 this year, losing a top 11 to 18 pick to Montreal is going to sting. I know Bettman is hating the Flames for making a mockery of the Cap system. Bottom 3 in Cap and hanging around the playoffs, the refs will never let them past the first round.
Anderson still has a year on his contract after this one. So Conroy has time, but he would probably be more valuable to a team who expects to be in the playoffs this year and next.
Vladar has had better competition, tougher starts. The stats aren't quite fair to him. Thanks for the vid!
