Just not following your logic. Team is bad -> blame captain? I naively hoped this line of thinking died with the end of the Iginla era. Your first line of thought for a struggling team is "must be the captain's fault!" I don't even know how you'd go there. There are about 100 more significant factors.

It was mostly in jest, and a lot of it does stem from Iginla being blamed for all of the team's inadequacies.
Look, the special teams are just anemic. I'm not opposed to the Flames cleaning house on the coaching staff at this point. It's going to cost them a shot at the playoffs if they don't change anything. Treliving won't be able to unload any of the roster junk, so this has to be looked at as an option.
