Like the topic says what will happen? Do they overhall the line up big time? Start cutting management starting @ sutter or go higher?

I personally think Sutter is done if they miss the playoffs, he's just not getting it done with this team and they've only gotten progressivly worse the lasy 7 years.

I think a change in management could only help the team at this point, assuming there are good acquisitions to be made. Guys with proven winning track records.

As far as the team goes, they definitely need to get a top line centre to work with Iginla.. the points been made hundreds of times, but nothing yet. Defensively we are totally solid, with almost the lowest goals against in the league.

Sounds more like the Oilers!!

Yes, the Flames will miss the playoffs for the first time in seven years and to your delight, right Batdat!

Both Sutters in my mind should be fired but the question is will it really happen? I hope so...

If you can't have a serious conversation don't bother talking to me. It happened to the oilers and now they're rebuilding, I accept that and don't attack those that had a serious conversation about it.

To say they have gotten worse in 7 years is wrong, anytime your in the playoffs is a good thing.
Well, Kipperusoffs numbers have gotten worse year in year out since 2003. The flames haven't made it passed the first round of the playoffs since 03, and every year they're supposed to be cup contenders most of these years. Being 1st round exiters every year isn't a good thing it means you're not making progress and you're best player is getting older and you don't have any high draft picks.

His falling numbers are beause he plays over 97% of th games, plus he's been Calgarys star player even over Iggy and is the reason Calgary has been in the playoffs for so many years.
And thats fine, but thats mis-management by Sutter being unable to get a compatent back up to pick up some of the slack for Kiprusoff to have 15-20 games off.

the problem is though with this season the rest of the team has gone the other way.
Exactly. I was just trying to defend Kipper. Everyone always looks at his numbers the last 5 years and says "oh, his numbers have dropped every year. He is not the same as in 04." Yes they did drop every year, but he was still our MVP every single year. It has been 'the team in front of him', not 'Kipper' that has been the problem. If it wasn't for him, we would have missed the playoffs more than just this season.
