What's Going Wrong or Right in Calgary?


Do the moves really add up for the Calgary Flames? For general manager Darryl Sutter, it seems as if it's working. Wrong! He might want to revisit the Flames' showdown with the Philadelphia Flyers Monday night. They were shut out 3-0 after blowing out Edmonton just a few days before. The new players that Sutter has implemented aren't really working out as of yet. Is he actually trying to avoid a second-half meltdown or did he just create one by getting rid of Phaneuf? Not only that, but after the game, he finished a deal with the New York Rangers that sent Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust there in exchange or Christopher Higgins and Ales Kotalik. Looks like this is either good or bad, mainly bad. I don't really believe that Calgary will get a lot of great wins, though they might sneak into the last playoff spot if Detroit somehow falls apart in the last few months of the season. It's gonna be a long road ahead for the Calgary Flames. They need to start winning and if they can't, look for more moves to come from the players AND from the front office.
