08:21 AM ET 04.03 | Close finishes have haunted the Flames all season long, and it may haunt them this offseason, too. [Calgary's] inability to win the close one will also be the most seductive red herring to ponder in the months ahead. In effect, it provides ownership and management with one more opportunity to delude themselves into thinking the club is close to respectability. ... Internally, the Flames genuinely seem to think that the bones of a successful team are in place. Externally, most people see a middle- to lower-echelon club whose primary stars, right winger Jarome Iginla and goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff, are one year older and one year further removed from their respective primes.

maybe they can get that great hockey mind Milbury to run them.
I figure with PM hopefully going to Montreal, we can get Milbury to go to Calgary...we can get all the schmucks (an olde Scots/Gaelic term) off the telecasts one by one

Can't they join Southern teams instead? NOBODY wants to see a Milbury-McGuire pregame presser.
