I've been saying all along, I didn't like the start. I didn't like the apathy shown by some players. I don't like our creativity. I don't like the "fast defense" that the Flames tried to deploy this year in the way of a system. The system might have worked with previous Flames teams. This team is not fast enough, or committed enough, doesn't think the game fast enough. Doesn't hate losing enough.

I've reduced my expectation of the Flames making the postseason at 10% to 1%. It's very early still but I don't see the ingredients to be positive at all of a comeback. I was much more optimistic of Feaster's vision and players drafted than I am under the present management. Feaster made a huge mistake for a rookie GM trying to acquire a colorado player, other than that looking back he was the best GM we've had since Fletcher. He was loaded with underperforming vets with no trade clauses and was able to turn the team around. I doubt Gaudreau would even have been drafted with Burke in management at the time.
