The other elephant in the room is the coach. Darryl was a great coach in his time but is anyone else watching games from the other divisions? It's so much faster and more exciting than the hockey we have seen from the locals. The Flames play so slow and trying to win games 2-1 goes against the grain of the rest of the league. I'm just not saying Darryl can't coach a winner but the margin for error is so small when you can't score goals and have to rely on slowing down opposition. Once they get down by a goal you can pretty well turn out the lights. I just don't see things getting better as it looks like the team is going to be a basement dweller for some time.
