Hi Flaming Moe,

On second thoughts, I don't think that finding a player for our first line would make that much of a difference. We have been thinking about that every season and it seems ironic that only he can change the entire game. It is my conviction there is something deeper than the player on our first line....your thoughts?

Unfortunately we can't seem to find a suitable player to have on our first line. Lundmark played very well there but his contract makes this not work. Let's hope they find someone sooner than later.

I missed the game but the only thing posiitve thing about the Flames was scoring on the powerplay. Alternatively, I am not sure about why Flames risked taking so many penalties.
What was most upsetting is that they lost three in a row... and that does not look good!!

After viewing the Toronto - Washington game, I would have thought that the Flames were capable of doing just that but right now nothing seems to tally. What is the frustration they are going through game after game?

I am not sure about this, but I think Lundmark made all the difference and his performance was fundamental when he played. Perhaps we need Lundmark in our team?

The coach was really mad after the game and made a point to mention some players just didn't care to show up. I'm willing to say Phaneuf was one of them, Glencross was in there too. Phaneuf plays hockey at 60% with one hand on his stick. Gotta get the lead out you 6.5 million dollar man.

Im with ya Barry, this team seems in trouble. I can't put my finger on it but they are definitely in trouble. Pathetic efforts in the last 2 games and only seem to try when it's too late. Im pissed!!!
