That simply hasn't happened in Calgary.

Probably not, but at the time that is exactly what Keenan was brought in to do. I don't know if anyone expected him to just tap guys on the shoulder and let them do whatever the hell they wanted. With Iginla now gone, that kind of thing cannot continue from this point going forward. The Flames need to set the right example for the new kids coming in and that means nobody gets a free pass.
