Bad penalties, lazy backchecking, inconsistency.. these are things that you no longer see in our leadership group and it's a big reason we are the team we are right now
Exactly what I was trying to say, thank you.
I'm sure Curtis Glencross is a phenomenal human being. But in his last couple years, his giving up on plays, very little determination, and essentially whining after plays rather than fighting through adversity on the ice is what the Flames have needed to get away from. He was the last piece of the old regime and perhaps was victim of poor leadership himself.. But that type of "cancer" for lack of a better word, is what good hockey teams are staying away from.

I wish him the best of luck as I don't like it when anyone loses their job, but its tough to feel bad for someone who had the world in their hands, millions in their bank account and took it for granted.
