The notion that the Brian Sutter led Flames were a hard working crew - is nothing more than myth. That team was both not talented enough and lazy/soft.
Look at some of the names from 1998/1999
- Cory Stillman
- Phil Housley
- Val Bure
- Andrew Cassels
- Derek Morris
The core and skilled players were very inconsistent and not committed.
I'm not going to get into a debate about Theo - but noting he was the top scorer.
It probably drove Brian nuts, but I was a STH at the time and I can tell you that there were many nights I felt cheated by the effort put forward.
