Brent tried to reign them in but it was probably too late with the culture being rooted deep. Things only changed when the roster turned over.

Yeah... that was really disappointing to read. Really summarized the Flames 2007-12... tons of talent, crap character and effort. Despite regular season success, it was really frustrating to see the team not care for 55 minutes a game, but manage to pull together 5 good minutes a game to get us into the playoffs.
