Keenan Fired

I have to admit I didn't see this coming. My ambivalence towards Keenan notwithstanding, there's some strong arguments to me be made that many of the Flames failings this season weren't of his doing.

Said Sutter during the announcement today. The good news for me in the wake of the firing is there's a better chance the goaltending will handled properly next year and  Bertuzzi will probably not be re-signed now that his #1 fan is no longer the bench boss. Heck, maybe the PP will improve as well.

Looks like it's going to be wholesale changes for the Flames coaching staff this summer. The question now is…who's the replacement?

First names that spring to mind are Brent Sutter or Ryan McGill. Any other possibilities?
