"They" say that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. In saying this you would have to conclude that this season for the Calgary Flames has been INSANE!!!
The same players don’t show up, the same players are sent out to win us games, and these same players don’t deliver. Using both Rene Bourque and Nick Hagman for the shootout VS Detroit? After arguably the worst game of hockey either has played EVER?! Glencross and Iginla both had fantastic games, yet left on the bench for these uninspired players undeserving of the faith the coach has in them.
D.Sutter lost his job because of the faith he showed in players he believed in. Trade for and sign long term #18. Trade for and sign long term #17, Trade for twice #21 or #13. These players have cost us 1st round picks, 2nd round picks, 2 players taken in the first round, and now the best general manager this team has seen since 1989.
The insanity looks to be ending. The team has a new GM, unlike anyone that we have ever had, and hopefully a new plan to reload quickly, like the Flyers, rather than rebuild slowly, like so many teams stuck in the cycle of top ten picks, and no playoffs.
The CORE is strong enough to build on 12, 4, 34, 5, 28; it just needs young, skilled, and faster help.
