The Flames players seem to be the problem in that they expect to be a good team, without you know that whole going out and actually doing the things that they need to do in order to win thing.

The Flames on paper are the most complete team in terms of talent throughout the lineup in the entire NHL. There are few black holes that are being filled by players of Bartkowski's talent level. Most teams have at least a couple of guys like that somewhere in the lineup.

The problem is the team's lack of attention to detail and I was saying last month in our show that perhaps we need a new coach, one that can basically yell at the team to try and get them from being in their own way. The lazy practice, which is what I'm assuming caused today's outburst is emblematic of the problem the players have. They are being coddled too much and need a good boot to the behind to get them going.

Gulutzan did a good thing and hopefully the team responds in a positive fashion tomorrow. They need the two points badly.
