Really? I don't look back on that era fondly at all. who were the likable characters during the young guns era? Hnatt Domenachelli? Derek Morris? Joel Bouchard? Jamie Allison?......sure there was Iggy and I guess Val Bure was married to that girl from Full House, but pretty bleak overall. Not only that, the Flames hired a radio executive from Vancouver to be the President. His job was to create a family oriented experience, which meant when the whistle blew we heard 'splish splash I was taking a bath'. It was a terrible, terrible time. There's no redeeming quality to be spoken to about here, the only good thing to be said is they survived and the team is still here.
As far as this iteration of the team goes, we're a little too close to it at the moment. awfully easy to see the faults of the team, more difficult to see the positives. I do think this team is better than what they have shown. They were a consensus pick to make the playoffs, as far as I recall. If there is a silver lining is that there should be no doubt now that change, significant change, to this roster is required.
