from the CP,
The Calgary Flames filed out the doors of the Pengrowth Saddledome on Friday and some of them for the last time.
The backbone of the team - captain Jarome Iginla, goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff and defencemen Dion Phaneuf and Robyn Regehr - are all under long-term contracts for the next five seasons and Kiprusoff and Phaneuf another year beyond that.
A veteran team with a veteran coach was expected to do better than finishing seventh in the Western Conference and losing in the first round of playoffs, even though it was a hard-fought, seven-game series with San Jose.
Changes are in the offing for Calgary’s supporting cast.
