That includes Darryl Sutter, who resigned as coach so he could work as GM full-time, and Bill Peters, who was fired for off-ice issues. Anyhow, firing coaches says nothing about the quality of a team. The 1971 Montreal Canadiens fired their coach after winning the Stanley Cup, for crying out loud.

I would bet the above is something the owners would not find acceptable.

So who has been around for the whole 15 years that the owners should hold responsible for it? Only the owners themselves – and Tod Button, who has done a decent job with limited resources, too few scouts in the earlier years and too few picks in the later ones.

As for bizarre bad breaks in the playoffs, sorry but I don't understand what that is referenced towards

In 2009, the Flames were heavy favourites on paper against Chicago in the first round, but Dion Phaneuf had a bad hip injury and Daymond Langkow actually played with
two broken hands and could hardly hold his stick. Those were bad breaks – literally. There have been a number of others.
