You don't get any medals or cups for being better than the Oilers. Aim better.

The bar has been set too low. Team needs to reach higher. This might be a different team if we had cooked the rebuild a bit little longer. Poor coaching hires didn't help as guys like Bennett couldn't break out here. To make matters worse, the guys we bring in often don't move the needle and get shipped right back out (..delays the team moving forward). Flames have to aim much higher and bring in better quality players that fit the team.
Flames also need to decide what type of team they want to be, big, fast or skilled, we seem to bring in a little of everything which doesn't really give us an edge come playoff time. What type of team do the Flames want to be...Brad? This is where I hope Sutter can help if he is in the loop.
