If we’re cleaning up and in first place can somewhat tolerate players who are not producing getting a free pass but being a real average middle of the road team that tolerance turns into irritation.

I think we can have both feelings not either/or, ie not be satisfied with losing at the show and what needs to happen to turn that frown upside down and also being proud that our team consistently makes the show. Oh and have I mentioned that the Riders suck?

What about promoting our OC? As always, I’ll show myself out backstage.

Sure yes crappy three gc losses in a row but rather be put into the position to win being part of the show than yet again watching the show from the sidelines in the cheap seats.

From Sportsnet: “I mean, I can't generate offence,” said Wolf, the Flames' franchise player, frustrated by his club’s inability to convert more than one of the 37 shots directed at Jakub Dobes. “I do my job, I try to keep the puck out of our net, and hope that our guys can generate a couple. I'm glad we got one there. We got a point, but we’ve got to keep working to find more offence.” He's right but my first reaction was jerkface throwing his teammates under the bus. I rarely if ever hear a player (some coaches do yes) throw his goaltender under the bus in public if the goaltender is struggling. This looks good on the Flames though, now do the Leafs and Wild next please and thank you.

He should also win an award with how much growth he continues to show from day one to now.

Yea exactly after 5 years in row going to the show, it’s time to give and not take.

Because we don’t want to jinx it. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Said no hardcore Jet fan ever.

Even then MOS would look at him and go you good? motioning him back onto the field.

Sure team game but our qb’s who have played being a team member and all are part, not all, of the reasons this offense hasn’t reached its full potential and are part of the reasons when things go well. Let’s see 30 minutes of TW, very minimal risk in doing so imo.

Hmmmm dare to dream? Wilson and Strev getting a lot of reps in preparation for Montreal to give them a half each to work? If so and Wilson falls flat on his face (hope not), at least we will know his detractors were correct.

So I’m sensing this frustrates you?

Yup we got Rocky Butlered once again.

Word of the day right there.

From Sportnet: "Last game, we were like a 50-50 team, is the best way I can put it. There was 50 per cent of our guys that I thought really worked really hard and were committed and then I don't think we had enough from the other 50. And he would fall into that category," Huska said about the decision to scratch Sharangovich, per Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia. "You can't make a 50 per cent change, but certain areas that weren't acceptable, we can change a few. So it happened to be him." Ryan Huska, who comes across to me as calm personable articulate kind man, sort of the opposite of a guy like John Tortorella, sends a message to a player. It was how he said it that impressed me. I think our man MOS, who is an outstanding football coach, could learn from other professional coaches like Huska where sometimes it's not what you're saying, it's how you say it that is tres important. And I'm sure Huska has also had an in locker-room direct convo with his player (s) balancing in-house matters that stay in-house with using other venues to send needed messages to his players. Oh and I hope we pound the Flames tonight. 🙂

Nope unfortunately unless I missed him getting an assist.

He must practice those moves in a mirror. Okay give me my ‘fighting thru an injury’ look, okay here’s my ‘what a warrior’ move and finally my ‘this score is not my fault’ pose.

I see nhl refs are taking cues from cfl refs in taking their time blowing their whistles. This is where we miss Buff after forsberg takes out JM with a questionable elbow or clean hit.

A tear came to my eye hearing that the Jets new mantra on the pk is to be more aggressive.

oh good gawd 1st period intermission with more fawning over the Habs and their coach MSL. I actually like him but this is cringe.

What an athletic no look knockdown by 55 than 81 turning Nashville’s D man into a pretzel as the color commentator puts me to sleep.

Wow sportsnet really pumping the tires of the habs. Fawning over them. The market must be telling them there’s money in thar hills.

Okay I'll meet you half way. Sit ZC, play CS a half and TW a half.
