That is an incredibly destructive mind set to have and I hope anyone in the Flames organization that might have or has that mindset is immediately fired and replaced.
1) You are allowing the players to believe that losing is acceptable in some way and become complacent in their effort and play because it doesn't matter (which sounds eerily familiar). That is NOT a locker room atmosphere that is going to attract or retain top players, which we still need to guide our youngsters into the NHL.
2) You destroy the work ethic of the top prospects in Abbotsford because no matter how hard they work, they know they won't get a call-up or a cup of coffee as a reward for what they have done.
