Calgary Flames MEGA THREAD 2009-2010 edition

[D'z Nutz]

Alright guys, what should we expect next season?

[rage2]

Let's hope not another first round exit .

On the bright side, with the recession and another first round exit, we might have better chances at season tickets!

[xLostx]

GO TEAM GO!

I was going to post that in this thread. I hope some season ticket holders choose not to renew them freeing some up

[D'z Nutz]

Haha, I'll buy season tickets if I could get a hold of some

[Mr_ET]

Hopefully a more consistent year and I'd like to see better backup goaltending, better defensive play and feel that we're a threat when we're on the PP.

[b_t]

I'd like to see a new GM come in, but keep Keenan.

[oster]

Keenan better be fired, he had no control over his team during the playoffs, I'm seriously dissapointed in this years playoffs

Kipper wasn't the problem in that game though.

[CKY]

A new powerplay coach

Hope for a more consistent team effort on the defensive

Try and hold onto Squid for another season or two

Pray for roster health down the stretch and into the playoffs

Lets see some fresh faces from the farm log a little more time, I know this isn't Sutter or Keenan's style, but we got a few that can play.

My thoughts exactly, our PP in this playoff was laughable.

[Eibbus]

How bout some soccer lessons since the puck is between their skates after every pass.

- Fire Keenan
- Fire Preston
- Fire Playfair
- Maybe hang on to Sutter
- Dump Jokinen via trade
- If PHX will take Jokinen back, bring back Lombo..maybe
- Re-sign Cammalleri
- Not sure about Andre Roy...he's "ok"...
- If we can get someone better than Bert, dump him
- Renew contracts for Lundmark, Boyd, Peters, Greentree and Chucko
- If Aucoin won't take a pay cut, I think we should find someone else..he's not worth $4M
- Not sure about Warrener..
- Renew McElhinney's contract

Thats what I would do, for starters

EDIT: Scratch that...we need younger players to step up...trade Jokinen for a good defenseman whos cheaper than Aucoin. Let Lanks and Connie centre the top two lines, and Boyd/Lundmark/Peters on the lower two...maybe Primeau too, if he steps it up A LOT.

[max_boost]

Bye Bye Bertuzzi.

Overhaul the coaching stuff.

Resign C-Mac and let him play 20-25 games.

Keep Aucoin if he is willing to take less money.

Let Camms go and hopefully Backlund can make the jump.

That's all I can think of for now.

For what it's worth, this year we saw the emergency of Moss, Nystrom and Bourque. Glencross was so so.

[rumeo]

Kipper 12 saves, khabi 43 saves, damn

[max_boost]

Kipper had no chance on those 3 goals. That's the thing, the Hawks make their shots count. They are almost always bang bang plays in the slot.

[88CRX]

You guys are making rash decisions cause you're all emotional about the loss..... lol.

There's a reason why the team won't make any moves till the summer.

I bet the changes are minimal..... we lost because of all the damn injuries. End of story.
