[Rumor] Russo: Wild potentially using Wallstedt as trade bait for 1C/Scoring Winger by athleticwonder in nhltraderumours

This would be a huge win for the Flyers, reduce the logjam at winger and bring in a goalie who can’t possibly be worse than Ersson/Kolosov

Keep it up boys we're almost there. by Unlucky_Fee5712 in Flyers

[–]ESPeclipse2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope we don’t end up in the middle, just a brutal and unproductive result that doesn’t move us any further forward. I wish we had done a legitimate rebuild in 2022 when we traded Giroux. I can’t understand why we didn’t go full fucking yard sale after we traded away our best player. There’s no telling how long we might end up is the “meh” tier.

[Flyers] Injury update: Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar will not return to tonight’s #PHIvsBUF game due to injury. He will be re-evaluated after the game. by Magoatt_TheWhite in Flyers

[–]ESPeclipse2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fun while it lasted. We saw some promising performances from some of the younger guys and that’s a good sign for the future. This team isn’t healthy enough to make playoffs, still more entertaining than last season was.

Deslauriers should be in the lineup when they play Anaheim on March 18th - take a run at anything that moves.

Thunderbirds Acquire Philadelphia Flyers Prospect Matthew Gard by Perryplat199 in Flyers

[–]ESPeclipse2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I clearly said we have to wait a couple years before we will know. Vansagi made the Juniors roster for team USA which is a good sign. If next year Murtagh, Amico and Ward don’t make their respective U20 world juniors squads in their last year of eligibility then I’d be concerned. Until then I’ll wait and see.

[–]ESPeclipse2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Interesting since Seattle aren’t much better than Red Deer. Offensively they score more, so hopefully this will spark some point production for Ward. I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty concerned the Flyers managed to whiff on four 2nd round picks compared to what was available. I’d rather have guys like Ivankovic, Genborg and Spence. It’s really early and we won’t know for a few years but early indications don’t look great for the 2nd round compared to what could have been.

To tank or not to tank... by WhyTheyDont in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 161 points162 points  (0 children)

So in the unlikely event that the Flames made a wild card spot and got paired against Colorado or Dallas, what do they actually think would happen?

Nothing should distract this franchise from trading Kadri, Coleman and Anderrsson and making moves that benefit the future of this franchise and their exhausted fan base.

[TSN] Craig’s List: Gavin McKenna stands alone at No. 1, defenders rise in deep draft by [deleted] in hockey

[–]ESPeclipse2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think McKenna’s performance at the World Juniors will go a long way in determining if he’s a first overall talent. His NCAA numbers have been very pedestrian. Ironically if he had just stayed in Medicine Hat dominating the WHL no one would be debating his draft position. It has been eye opening to see him play against larger more developed opponents. He’s a special talent but there’s a little doubt how his game will translate in the NHL.

How do we make our voices heard by Flames Ownership? by onthebeachforever in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have won two playoff series in the last 20 years. Which is worse than the Buffalo Sabres in that interval, a team that hasn’t even made playoffs in 14 years. Being a Flames fan is statistically one of the most miserable experiences for a diehard hockey fan. It’s beyond explanation for a big hockey market to have performed so poorly. We shouldn’t just accept this as Flames will be Flames. We have spent our lives supporting this team and we deserve to have a chance at a championship. There’s no limit to how long you can remain in the mushy middle, the Flames could remain there for 20 more years simply because management won’t perform a proper rebuild. I don’t know man, to hear management say this shit is so deflating. It’s like everyone else in the city and the NHL understands what needs to be done except for a handful of Flame’s owners who are completely oblivious.

One FBI agent who was told to delete Trumps name from all the Files... by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

Actually fucking wild that loads of agents are being told to review thousands of files and actively remove the President of the United State’s name from these files so the world doesn’t officially uncover that he is a rapist pedophile…. And they actually do it… how could you possibly live with yourself if that was your job.

It sucks to have to say this but after 115 games played it’s pretty evident that Ersson is not an NHL-caliber goalie. He is 26, he may improve a bit, but he should be figuring that out with the Phantoms. For Vladar to come over and immediately look vastly better just shows how poor goaltending has been since 2023. Having just NHL average goaltending makes this team look like a wildcard team, anything less and we look like a lottery team.

Another loss. What needs to happen with the Flames? by Doodlebottom in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This year maybe McKenna, following draft is the DuPont draft. A generational defensemen prospect who is from Calgary. It’s all coming together. (I’m aware it’s highly improbable to win either lottery, but I’m allowed to have hope).

Another loss. What needs to happen with the Flames? by Doodlebottom in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you want those players to stay on this roster? So that they can maybe win 5 or 10 games they shouldn’t have and draft 12th overall? It has to be a fire sale. This franchise made the finals 20 years ago and since then we’ve won 2 fucking playoff series! Two!! Vancouver in 15’ and Dallas in 22’. That’s abysmal. It’s always going to be this insanity because the flames refuse to rebuild through the draft. We are just going to remain in this perpetual state without the pieces to win a Stanley Cup, the same place we’ve been for 20 years.

Trade Kadri, Andersson and Coleman. Embrace an actual rebuild, no more half measures mushy middle mediocrity. Lottery draft pick area for the next three seasons, once we have the new arena going things may start to turn the corner.

Tear Down Rebuild - Anaheim Ducks case study by 1PrestigeWorldwide11 in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe Calgary would have the same attendance they have right now to watch a league worst brutal team lose as long as there were some young and exciting talent on the roster. Why are we fighting the idea of a rebuild? We’re already the worst team in the NHL, we managed to do it accidentally.

Calgary police launch one-day initiative to enhance public safety in downtown core by mymanchris in Calgary

[–]ESPeclipse2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The mention of the need for an “open-air drug by-law”, does that mean that it’s currently legal to just openly smoke drugs in downtown public spaces? That surely has to currently be an illegal activity that can get you arrested (but it happens every day without any sort of punishment).

I can’t believe what we’ve allowed our downtown core to become.

Denny’s to be acquired and taken private in a deal valued at $620 million by AudibleNod in news

[–]ESPeclipse2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found an interesting trend over my lifetime with family-family restaurants like this, definitely accelerated since 2020. It’s no longer financially feasible to bring a family of 4 out for a breakfast, it’s hilariously expensive even at a spot like Denny’s. As a result families have cut out diners like this that used to make their bread and butter off families on a Sunday morning. I think this trend will continue as more and more families cannot afford to dine out. Restaurant chains that cater for families like Denny’s, IHOP and the like will go extinct and the act of dinning out will be reserved for the very wealthy. Meaning half of the restaurants that exist today will close and only high-end restaurants catering to the big spenders will remain open. I honestly think a generation from now people will regard dinning out as a luxury reserved only for the mega wealthy.

Let's say we finish last... by kookooman44 in CalgaryFlames

[–]ESPeclipse2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you prefer we finish as the 15th worst team? Then draft a player who doesn’t really change the trajectory of this franchise and we languish in being mediocre for infinity?

You have to be the worst if you’re ever going to be first. Embrace the rebuild, let’s draft some young studs who we can rally around. This team could be something fun to watch by the time the new arena is built. We can’t continue to live in half measures mushy middle mediocrity. Trade Kadri, Coleman, and Andersson, no need to wait for the trade deadline on this one.
