The coaching debate can not excuse the poor play and execution from our best players. This core has failed and the writing has been on the wall since last years all star break. It’s time to re-tool and make the call to stop chasing the illusion of a miracle run like 04.
Teams like Boston are elite and are structured to play a dominating game that ensures success. Management needs to realize that the Flames are not one piece away from becoming a true contender.
Let’s not make the mistake of holding on to players and losing lucrative trade opportunities. Even though I’m sure management realizes this deep down, it will be ownership that dictates the course of action moving forward. Unfortunately the allure of a few home playoff games will negate the need to do a proper re-tooling.
