Following every Flames loss, the cries come on twitter, on radio call in shows and in newspaper columns, that it's time to 'blow it up.' Never have the cries been louder than after last night's 9-0 loss to the Boston Bruins; a humiliating defeat that was the team's fifth in a row and ended a dismal seven game road trip. My question is, what prey tell, is there to blow up?
In idea behind the 'blow it up' philosophy is that the current assets could be shed for some solid returns that would help the team improve in the future. The only assets the Flames have right now, are Miikka Kiprusoff and Jarome Iginla. If the Flames traded Iginla, they'd have a crappy team without any leader, without any heart and without any identity. If the Flames traded Kiprusoff, they'd be a crappy team without a goalie. So, the return needs to be a substantial one.
