I think the only light at the end the tunnel, for Flames fans, is the retirement of 12, 13, 34, 40. I firmly believe these four players aren't going anywhere until their contracts expire and even then, they will probably be re-signed. Similar to the Rangers of the '70's, 80's, 90's bringing in high profile names that are close to the end of their careers, (Somehow, hoping name power trumps youth and skill). Except the Flames are hanging on to, two high profile names that have been here the whole time and seem to have lost their desire and ability to win. And have re-cycled two others. One has no clue what he is doing and is probably pouting because he is not playing with 12 and 40 and the other is useless on the point on the powerplay. These are some of the, supposed, leaders of your Calgary Flames. Pathetic. And I am becoming apathetic. On a positive side note, PLEASE, Jiri, don't become discouraged. You are the best player on the Flames. Get mad, downright emotional, and show these guys how to win. This is the guy they need to surround with other players that hate to lose and put the team first. And I want to see Brust or Taylor up for a look-see. Do it and do it, NOW.
