If you are struggling to understand just how bad the Flames are right now, watch this movie preview. The Flames are the guy with the glasses on, while lets say the Capitals are the good looking stud.
The Flames are AFCs, Average Frustrated Chumps. They are the nerdy guy in the bar that walks around and doesn't have the slightest idea of how to pick up a girl. Sure the Flames have lots of friends who are girls, but they lack the killer instinct to actually attract someone and score, both in the case of this analogy and literally. I want to ignore the four-goal anomaly against Anaheim for a second. That being ignored, the Flames have scored five goals in six games. That is ineptitude at its finest. The best part about this was when the crack panel at Sportsnet took a stab at what the problem was. Guess who Mike Brophy said was to blame?
Old FaithfulSomehow he blamed the Flames losses on Kiprusoff, and that is the reason why I watch the picture channel (Shaw channel 230) during intermissions instead of Sportsnet West. That is some of the weakest analysis that I have heard in my entire life. One game is what he blew (6 GA vs San Jose), and you can hardly argue that he should have allowed zero to let us win the game.
Are you stumped Darryl? So is everyone in Calgary right now. Hell, the Oilers are in a losing streak but at least they are missing a) their starting goaltender, b) their top scorer, and c) their perceived sanity as an organization. The Flames are extremely healthy in every aspect and there is no way to explain just what the fuck is going on right now.
Sure the Flames weren't a defensive presence last year, but I'll tell you what: at least they held a playoff spot for most of the regular season, a luxury which now eludes this year's edition. If you choose to keep watching the Flames, good on you as it shows some real faith as not only is this team not competitive, they're not even entertaining to watch. The new full-time Flames fan anthem should be "White Flag" by Dido.
"I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be"
