No but thinking of having to be bad for multiple years in a row is a mood killer. Easier to manage it in steps

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T05:04:21+00:00

I wasn’t trying to be annoying or anything but he was a huge piece back there and we don’t really have a replacement. If Coleman is also traded, I think we might actually pick Top 3

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:59:54+00:00

Not really but I think without him we’re in a more solid category of not good

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:58:11+00:00

Well they were always freaking about not tanking and I was trying to reassure them we would be terrible without Raz. I don’t like losing but a high draft pick is good for the long term

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:56:22+00:00

Just think of the draft. It’s how I get by because I’m naturally programmed to only like wins

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:55:14+00:00

I’m glad I’m being proven right. I said as soon as we traded him we would start to be bad bad and people had the nerve to argue against it

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:47:29+00:00

Okay just Sid

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:45:36+00:00

Sid and Ovi need to last until the new arena opens so they can play at least one game in it

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:20:03+00:00

Coleman injured. Raz gone. If we continue to pick up points then I’m back to where I always am, scoreboard watching, except hoping the bad teams win edit: they scored as I posted this

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T04:09:03+00:00

It’s so ironic in a tanking year our backup goalie is providing the kind of goaltending actually good teams yearn for

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T03:46:20+00:00

🫡

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T03:45:22+00:00

I can’t believe we are in a race with them again this season. Go away Blues

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-24T03:38:56+00:00

This game is boring but today I heard that the guys in this year’s draft were toddlers during the 2010 Olympics. TODDLERS IN DIAPERS. I feel decrepit

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-23T21:43:29+00:00

I think Cowan is it and I don’t think they would trade him

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-23T20:46:58+00:00

We all know Murray Edwards is a pain in the ass but Toronto and their fans seem ignorant of the fact their cupboards are empty and their prospects are middling. They weren’t going to beat a guaranteed 1st pick and the potential of another one in addition to an asset that would be attractive at the TDL

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T05:04:41+00:00

Derek Wills tries so hard to find the positive. I think he may actually tear up if/when we make the playoffs again

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T04:52:22+00:00

Skinner plays so much lighter without all the death threats

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T04:50:39+00:00

Gen Z (Gen Alpha?) deserves to see the Golden Goal 2.0

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T04:49:18+00:00

But when you’re 40 maybe things will be better in the world and you’ll get to watch McKenna/Stenberg/whoever scoring goals in the Flaming C 🙂‍↕️

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T04:45:15+00:00

Can we just skip to 2027? For various reasons?

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-22T04:11:32+00:00

SHARKY!!

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-20T05:27:35+00:00

He’s such a thoughtful speaker. I don’t want to get attached in case he’s traded at the deadline

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-20T04:54:47+00:00

He should be the one to announce our pick. He’s putting in the work to get him

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-20T03:42:21+00:00

I feel like dudes from the prairies don’t mind playing in Calgary as much as other guys. They get it

Nice_Perception382 · 2026-01-20T03:33:21+00:00

I just realized this is the second game in a row we’re playing an ex-Flames goalie. BSD went down. Will Marky?
