If this last resort of playing Hitchcock-trap hockey fails, which it will, you have to think Chiarelli will be shown the door. That would indeed be a sad day for us as Flames fans.
Right now is really the best of times in a way. The Oilers are playing incredibly sad and boring .500 hockey while effectively shutting down the aspirations of getting McDavid to the top of the scoring race. All of that while noone is doing a single progressive thing to deal with the multitude of issues that is holding the organization firmly rooted at rock bottom. The team is currently suspended in a no man's land where they are neither good enough nor bad enough to really do anything, so everybody are just waiting, and what more could we really wish for? It's the epitome of no good really.
