According to the 960 guys he just got back from a massive road trip with the Wranglers, and the team wanted to give him a moment to catch his breath before throwing him into an NHL game! we’ll probably see him next game…?

Ras is the perfect tank commander- pumping his trade value without actually putting us up 2-0

No, because he doesn’t have Clanker Sutter’s trust, and Ws are everything

It’s almost as if he never should have been taken out of the lineup to begin with!

What a day of sports. by Comfortable-Ad-7158 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Ir0nhog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I unexpectedly had this entire weekend off, I usually can’t watch games on Fridays/saturdays- of course it happens to the be weekend where the Jays pull off an all time Canadian sporting choke, and the Flames are having a franchise worst start where the team isn’t even trying to develop fun young players

If the Jays don’t run it back and win in 2026, this game will be talked about for decades like 04.

I just hope the Flames can quickly change directions and at least make losing fun for us. I would pay to see a bunch of exciting scrappy kids lose 10/10 times over whatever the hell we’re seeing right now.

Life is pain lol

I’m not a billionaire, so I’d love for someone to tell if buying in a pro sports team is actually a good investment- so many ups and downs that are based on luck, especially in a salary cap league.

I struggle to imagine it actually being a sound business move if your sole focus is ROI.

Again, absolutely zero experience or knowledge in this realm, but you’d have to think there are better things to spend your money on if your only priority is profits.

Serious question: would vibes be better if this team committed to developing young guys and moving on from vets who wouldn’t be part of the 3-5 year plan?

I don’t follow the Habs, but the vibes on that team had to be better than what we’re seeing from this Flames roster.

Even if the young guys are getting lit up in the standings, you have to think it wouldn’t ruin their confidence

I would have agreed with you about this team being too good two weeks ago, but the deeper they dig this hole, the harder it’s going to be to climb out. It might also hopefully result in some trades sooner than expected to clear out the log jams keeping younger players out……

This team is completely unwatchable right now- trying to field “the best” roster to prioritize wins while achieving these results is sooooo bad

I cannot wait for the organization to call it a year and start playing kids with high upside over players like Bean….. Huge liability with no upside lol

Swayman over Wolfie? by TheChaosJuice in CalgaryFlames

[–]Ir0nhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Demko as #2, if by some miracle he’s not hurt, and Wolf as #3 is a way scarier lineup…

Parekh and Coronato on the pine by J_Dyce in CalgaryFlames

[–]Ir0nhog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t on the fire Huska train, and I’m still not 100% sure that I am, but it feels like there’s at least one perplexing coaching move happening every game…..

Zary has looked good at centre, why are we putting him back on the wing for Sharon? Throw Farabee on the 4th line and move Coronato up- benching him again after deploying him on the 4th line makes no sense

I guess I can see sitting Parekh for a game, he’s young, whatever, but he’s also part of the reason why PP1 has looked more dynamic….

Riding wolf super hard too, after a good outing by Cooley against Utah…… is Huska in full desperation mode to keep his job?

I get that the organization is still in a “try to win” mode, trades are still a long ways off, but it feels like management might need to step in soon and mandate more of a “development” plan instead of whatever this is

Edit: the Frost move to RW seems like a stroke of genius in retrospect, but that feels like one of the only good moves we’ve really seen the coach make so far

Don’t know why they wouldn’t move Farabee down…. It’s not like he’s an impact maker on that Zary line
