In the end, that was a great season of Flames hockey. Shame how it ended, but amazing when you think it was basically the same roster that stunk its way across Canada the year before.
That said, some really tough decisions to make starting now. Sutter squeezed all the juice he could out of the roster and it wasn't enough to win. I think next year will need to feature some key roster changes if this team is going to step to the next level. I just hope it doesn't saddle itself with regrettable contracts in the process.
Disappointing ending (really disappointing actually) but better than I had hoped in September.
Now I'm just hoping the Avs or Bolts trounce the Oilers in humiliating fashion.
