Keenan??? what the f**k are the flames thinking

I was pretty shocked by the announcement at first, but it kinda makes sense. Sutter and Keenan are pretty good buddies apparently. If I'm not mistaken, Darryl was an assistant in Chicago back when Mad Mike was coaching them, so there's a bit of a history there. I wasn't surprised at all that Playfair was replaced. After last year's abysmal road record and the Flames' pathetic and disinterested play in the first round against Detroit, it was only a matter of time before Jimmy got the hook. He's staying on as an assistant though, so I guess that's alright. I'm not a big fan of Keenan, but this may be exactly what the Flames need. A hard-ass coach who isn't afraid to give the players a good swift kick in the arse if they're not doing their jobs. He's like Sutter, but without the sense of humor. The upcoming season is gonna be very interesting.
