Again, it didn't work because the kids refused to lose - and credit to them, but one can certainly suggest management sure tried hard enough to sink to the bottom of the tank.

That just proves that Calgary management cannot do anything right.
I liked that the kids played well.
Colorado with better roster did better job at sucking than Flames.
As for Bouwmeester, I didn't see the point of trading him, looking back I don't have a problem with the return anymore as Poirier looks like he will be a very good player.
