I just had some ideas flowing as of late and wanted to share. There has been no shortage of people's ideas as to why the Flames continue to fall short and wanted to add my 2 cents.
I'll start off by saying I think one aspect of becoming a winning team isn't necessarily just going out and obtaining great players, but I want to argue that removing below average players is just as important. To me it's the simplest math that exists. If you consider our "best" players a score of 1, our average as a "0" and our below average as a "-1" you can start to see what I'm thinking here. A bad player can affect a team as much as a star player.
Before you start flaming me (pun intended), I do acknowledge that building a winning team may be easier said than done, but the point I'm trying to communicate is that we need to put more attention to REMOVING the -1 players. It's a joke that the Flames' motto this year is "No excuses", yet we continue to make excuses as to why Comeau and Butler log as many minutes as they do. I think I saw Comeau fall under no pressure at least 3 times last game.
These are just my own little thoughts I had on my mind, don't be hatin'.
