I fully expect the young future of the Calgary Flames to come in a violate our rotting corpse of a team. The guys have given up this year. I think the core group still have some miles left in them but they've all checked out for this season.
I don't know if it's just our terrible coaching staff, the injuries, or some locker-room turmoil that got moral down, but ever since that statement game moral victory in LA, this team has had no life. The fact that guys were coming out and saying that they felt like a loss was a victory just showed how misguided this team was. There's a lot of proud guys in the Canucks dressing room, and if it was Tortorella's wish for the guys to go out there and act like goons, it's no wonder he's lost the respect of the players already.
If I had to point the finger at anyone, I'd point it at Mike Gillis for hiring John Tortorella. Of all the questionable trades and contracts Mike Gillis is responsible for the ship was never sinking like this until he brought Torts in.
