Not sure how this situation gets better soon. Goalies don’t grow on trees and lots of teams are in the market for a goalie. We do have draft picks to trade but the price will probably be high. The lottery ticket strategy of getting lucky and finding someone on waivers or something is that might work, but probably not. Toker has been good, I don’t blame him for last game at all, the defense just has to play better.

Tage does well shielding the puck, also. But good points

Who isn't admitting the team--or any damn team for that matter--doesn't have real issues?? Huh? Ya, they need to get better and part of that if being tougher and more physical. This is at the point of screaming in an echoing cave

Like the Calgary goalie, is the shut out all his? No, he didn't have a very tough night

Yes, humans have biases. That's why auditions for orchestras are done blind. Before they did them blind women never got hired. I have no idea, would depend on the other team. If it had a team of Marios L's and V. Hedmans, I'd go with that team. Which is still an advantage of size

Oh, why would you do that to Bjork???

Sure, talent is key, I'm not arguing otherwise. Never did. But bigger stronger players are valuable and necassary. Do you think a whole team of high talent but smaller players is the way to go?

Obviously.

Still gotta clear out front of net, and win battles in corner. So, if two players are equal in talent, but one is bigger and strong than the other, who would you pick to play on your team?

Good

Fine, switch Chara for, oh, how about Hagg? That ok? Who would you rather have clear out front of net?

Oh, well let's see. Look at how Chara used his size to become a future hall of famers while smallish, though skilled, Butcher will probably not have a long NHL career See what I did there?

Ya, we had no room to move out there. They really had the interference thing down, I mean all forecheckers got bumped.

Ok, read it. Not really impressed. I mean I'd rather have Chara clearing out the front of the net than Will butcher, for instance.

Yes

None?

Maybe some big players create more space, opportunity and situations that allow smaller skilled players to thrive.

What type of truck?

If their two top scorers were out and Olli and Mitts were healthy the game would have been closer for sure

I didn't. Sorry 😞

It's not a strange comment at all. And you are wrong. He was replying to someone else for the toughness part.

So? Did you measure toughness and skill, too?

Size is important, but so is speed and skill. It's all about balance. We seem to be more of a smaller, faster team now, while the Flames seem to have a much better balance of speed, size and toughness. They also sure throw a lot of interference for each other without getting penalized

Oh well, in life some rain must fall

And Hayden of all people is handed the best scoring chance of the night! 🤪
