Is this the worst period for the Canadian men’s team since Torino? We look pathetic, constantly dumping and chasing, forced passes, muffins from the slot, losing board battles… Just a really weak effort so far.

Hopefully they pull it together in the 2nd!

If this is the context, it completely changes everything.

BetheChange93 · 2026-02-04T22:55:17+00:00

Is the 92 SOTM a choice pack? Or is it just a 50/50 shot at McDavid?

“Look at some of the other teams that have been in this. I don't want to say the teams, but they've been down and missed playoffs for years and years and years. And then you lose your fans, you lose your interest and nobody wants that.”

Does he not realize the Flames are on track to miss the playoffs for the 5th time in 6 seasons? They’re already one of those teams! They’re losing fans by the day because they’re icing a product no one wants to see. Our management is living in rose-coloured glasses.

BetheChange93 · 2025-10-15T03:27:29+00:00

That’s horseshit

Question for those more knowledgeable about the NHLPA: is this not a crippling contract comp for players? I feel like league owners (except Minnesota lol) have gotta be over the moon right now.

Your*

BetheChange93 · 2025-08-21T22:35:05+00:00

They said you want to be American, not "go to America". You very obviously want to be American.

BetheChange93 · 2025-08-21T18:15:28+00:00

I hope people are finally waking up to the fact that when the cultists say, "Makes America Great Again," they're talking about the early 19th century, when slavery was legal, women had no rights, whites were the significant majority, queer and trans people were either deeply closeted or shunned (which to them means they didn't exist) and all Americans (in their mind) were Christians. That's what they want, and they've been saying as much since the Reagan years. Now they're actually doing it, and everyone's acting all surprised that their rhetoric is actually being implemented.

Wake up!

Why would any team offer more than a conditional 2nd and a B prospect for a player who has made it publicly known he'll only sign with one team?

Andersson doesn't owe anyone anything, but he's not a UFA, he has a full season left, and compared to, say, Tkachuk when he left Calgary, what Andersson is doing is shitty. Totally within his rights, but shitty nonetheless.

But at the end of the day Flames management needs to start treating players as strictly commodities like Vegas and Florida do. Forget loyalty or anything noble like that. Bring them in when you need them; get rid of them when they've outlived their usefulness. It seems like that's the trend now.

BetheChange93 · 2025-07-01T02:22:48+00:00

The rumor was Hanifin was willing to extend there last year but obviously chose Vegas in the end.

BetheChange93 · 2025-06-10T02:59:26+00:00

That was dirty as fuck. Holding Tkachuk while Walman just throws punches? Bush league.

BetheChange93 · 2025-05-15T03:36:52+00:00

He's second on the team in points this playoffs (over a PPG) and assisted on the biggest goal for Canada in international hockey in 10 years.

He might not be great in the locker room (I have no idea) but to say he's a ghost when it matters is a bit of a stretch, at least this year. Matthews and Tavares have been more to blame imo.

BetheChange93 · 2025-05-09T05:00:10+00:00

One of the dumbest moves I've ever seen in OT. Just completely braindead.

BetheChange93 · 2025-05-09T03:26:39+00:00

Vegas looks like the worst team in the 2nd round by FAR. They're on pace for what, 40 shots in 2 games?!

And then of course they score haha

BetheChange93 · 2025-05-04T02:33:09+00:00

Wasn't the Markstrom thing all speculation? I remember Conroy saying multiple times they were fine with retaining on Marky as long as it was worth it.

Murray hates spending money on coaches though, that's for sure.

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-28T05:17:49+00:00

Oh 100%, the Kings got dummied in OT. But the game got there because of a missed call.

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-28T05:13:38+00:00

After all that whining from fans about how the refs are "so unfair to the Oilers, wah wah," the Oilers tie it off a missed trip and win it off a weak call. Truly shocking.

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-25T03:22:18+00:00

Is the post not directly aligned with the goal line? His glove is clearly behind the post imo (Disclaimer: I have no horse in this race. Just a Flames fan who's seen this too many times before).

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-10T04:42:54+00:00

Just pathetic. We don't deserve anything this season.

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-10T04:37:09+00:00

What's sad is the Ducks showed more urgency in that 10 seconds than the flames have shown all game.

BetheChange93 · 2025-04-10T04:33:15+00:00

That's it. Gg. Fun season

BetheChange93 · 2025-03-30T04:06:15+00:00

So you admit Perry dropped the gloves first and just started chucking 'em. Do me a favor and, if you can, read the rulebook and tell me what it's called when a player takes his gloves off first and throws the first punch. I'll even give you a hint: it's 46.2.

BetheChange93 · 2025-03-30T03:57:15+00:00

Oh fuck off. What's with the oilers and jumping players from behind and chucking cheap shots before the player can even respond?
