Flames Lucic Calls Out His Teammates Over Recent Performance

The Calgary Flames are struggling as they suffered another brutal loss to the Ottawa Senators on Monday. And while there's been a few bright spots, there's certainly nothing to hang your hat on at the moment. 

There's been more noise over the past couple of weeks citing the coaching staff can't seem to get the players on the same page, however, Flames forward Milan Lucic, who happens to be a bright spot for the team doesn't think it's the coach's fault at all.

Lucic calls BS and thinks it's solely on him and his teammates:

You hear a lot of outside noise talking about coaching and all this … style of play and all this bullshit. But that has nothing to do with the coaches. That has everything to do with the guys that are playing. It seems like … we just want it easy on a night to night basis. We don't want to work hard like we did when this coaching staff took over last year. There's more than enough people in this organization that need to look in the mirror.

Can't imagine having someone like Lucic mad at me, so let's hope for the Flames they can turn things around quick. The team is currently 10-11-2 and are only averaging 2.52 goals per game which is close to the worst in the league.

Meanwhile, Lucic has scored six goals this season and is tied for fourth on the team. 

Look for the effort from the Flames to be on point their next game, they will look to bounce back after a brutal performance all around on Monday.
