Give it another 10-15 games.
Thanks for posting this-I was going to say something like this, but I didn't want to bother with all the negativity.

Our 2 top players (and Monahan) left, and were replaced. We now have key players in important positions who didn't play nearly as detailed a system as the one Sutter employs. It's going to take time. Tre did an excellent job turning a bleak situation into a positive, and Sutter ain't going nowhere-these kinda comments are embarrassing.

What's also embarrassing is how our fans whine about "perpetual mediocrity". Flames have the 7th best win% all-time in the NHL, so it could be worse. In the past 5 years, we've finished 1st in the Pacific twice, and one of those years, we were 2nd in the league-so again, could be worse. I already know what the argument against this will be, so Flame away. I'm done with this thread.
