Also of note, your attempted defence of Sutter using examples from the bottom half of the defence while conveniently ignoring the presence of Giordano, Regehr and Bouwmeester.

Well yeah the team had a losing streak not a lot different than the 85 team that lost 11 straight and made the Cup finals. Only difference is Fletcher didn't have the knee jerk reaction to blow things up. The only people that think those were playoff rosters is Flames fans as the rest of the league was laughing at the Flames over those years. Take a look at the roster for Brent's 3rd season and tell me with a straight face he didn't overachieve getting 90 points from that group. That was a horrible roster.
