He came up with a 7 point plan, created lines to target the other teams big stars "see Neil Sheehy vs Gretzky". Everyone thought those oilers were unstoppable but the Flames built a team to defeat them. They had a plan, they executed, it and built some great powerhouse teams.
The current Flames have to get with the game do whatever it takes to win and stop calling things a process. I remember Cliff Fletcher talking about trading 3 players for 1 to get a good player. I am not suggesting we do that, but the Flames need to be more creative stack the team think long term.
Organization has to be better, more shrewd, do whatever it takes, instead of talking like we are competing with 30 other teams.

Tampa deserves some credit they doing whatever they have to. |
I lived outside of the Flames catchment area and was just getting into hockey at that time. It was that series and the "villainous" Flames taking it to the league pets that made me a Flames fan. We could really use a Sheehy 2.0 right about now.
