Edmonton's problem isn't just losing, its that they don't care. If you want to do a "case study" how about the Flames this year vs 2 years ago. Despite us being a far worse team, I would say this team has a lot more character then the one 2 years ago, and we are borderline bottom 3 team. I think sometimes people are too scared about being a Edmonton that they lose perspective ... where are the case studies of Chicago, LA, Pittsburg, etc?
