Stan is about to manufacture a world wide crisis so the beat writers can claim “but JC dIDNt HaVE aFull SeaSon” so it’s okay.

Seems Chicago is pulling a Flames

Pulling a Flames??

Remember when the flames during last offseason added Markstrom, Tanev and all those other guys but didnt do well in the North division despite people predicting they would be top 4.

Same thing is happening in Chicago despite adding Fleury, Jones, McCabe, and getting back Dach and Toews

I would've fired Colliton in the 1st intermission tonight to be honest. How many players follow the same trajectory?

Make the roster, have a few great games, sudden line change, player performance declines, player gets scratched. Suter played really well last season, they didn't bring him back. Kampf is an ideal 4C, they didn't bring him back. Instead they kept Strome, traded for Johnson and signed Khaira. Not only did they spend more money, they got noticeably worse players. It really makes no sense. How do they expect to grow when they consistently make lateral or negative moves?

Oh, Gotcha

Think with Calgary though there's something rotten in that room, Flames fans have said there isn't but something hasn't seemed right with the Flames for awhile now, having said that I just don't think the Flames are that good with or without the additions of Markstrom and Tanev.

As for Chicago who knows, it's early but they're probably just not good enough and their coach is in over his head, Bowman has been lost for years and has been making bad move after bad move for quite awhile now.

They should just wipe out the entire organization like the Rangers did at the end of last season

They should have paid attention to how bad jones has been the last 2 years. 9.5 million for that. That's the type of contract that sinks a team.
Then the Olympics took him. Clearly not for his play, he sure as hell doesn't belong there based off his play last year and now this year.
CBJ lost a lot of talent over the past 2 years, but Jones was no great loss.
