Whew. I'm just happy that my Sens held back the inevitable onslaught of Zetterberg, young Crosby, Teemu "Stamvechkin" Pulkinnen and the rest of the 411 Wings.

Only the Flames would permit Dutch Gretzky to record a hat trick. The sad part is I don't even know if that is rock bottom.

Honest question dash: why do you think they've been so bad this year? I thought that as a young team they might take a step back.. this is a full moonwalk.

With the people they have on the blueline I never foresaw it being even close to this bad.

It does start with goaltending - League worst save percentage during 5-on-5 play. Defense corps has been awful as well, I'm a big Kris Russell fan, but he's been terrible to start the season (and Wideman hasn't been much better). Giordano has struggled as well and wasn't good again tonight. The team that was so resilient last season has lost that fighting spirit and confidence is shot mainly because every mistake they make seems to end up in their net.

Yeah. I'm a big Kris Russell fan as well but he got walked by Zack Smith the other night. 2015 Zack Smith to boot. That is not a good sign for your game.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

That will be wasted money by the Ducks. He isn't the guy to take them to the next level and he sure won't be in 2-3 years.

And my goodness do I hate Kesler. It's really hard for me to find a player in the NHL (out side of the Cookes and Torreseseses) that I dislike more than Kesler. Such a whiny bitch. A shame too, because is game used to be top-notch.

Sorry Dash, I couldn't watch the game tonight. Was it bad goaltending or just a good effort by the Habs?

Goalie controversy in Montreal?

revisiting that trade

Kesler
Deven Seideroff (3rd rounder 2015)

for

Jarred McCann (1st round 2014)
Luca Sbisa
Brandon Sutter (via Nick Bonino/Clendening to Pitts)
Derek Dorsett (via the 3rd rounder 2014 to NYR)


McCann, Sbisa, Sutter and Dorsett ALL have more points than Kesler
quick count gives us 19-2 in points this year :D

Kesler isn't making 6.9 until next season. He's only at 5.0 this year I think.

Yeah, but you're forgetting the fact he was able to lure Bieksa to the OC as well.

It was both comeds, but I would say more bad Flames goaltending and defense. Congrats on the win.

Thanks, I really have no idea how the game went. No Center Ice, no NHL network And apparently Gamecenter now even make you pay for highlights.

Home tomorrow, Center Ice. Work Monday though. :(

Honest question: worse contract extension, Kesler or Phaneuf? Should we do a poll? Are there any other recent contenders?

Yeah, the Flames are disappointing this year, I figured they'd take a step up, if anything they've took a big step back.

There are some that look like they might end up worse but those two are special. EVERYONE but the participating GM knew those two were going be terrible.
