Season 37 Regular Season - 72 GP | 8 W | 59 L | 5 OTL | 21 P | 120 GF | 309 GA

The Calgary Wranglers improved albeit by just 8 points in the standings. However, any improvement on last season is something to be proud of for those in that locker room. Henrik Larsson lead the team in scoring once more with 60 points which is a career high. New defender on the team Damien Sandow was the top defender with 51 points. Martin Brookside and Rock Star shared the crease this season both put up decent numbers at 0.919 save percentage (Brookside) and 0.912 save percentage (Star). Brookside seemed to be the better player in net but not by much. Michael Haan and Lucas Lessio made their return to Calgary after some seasons away. In the end though, this was two back to back seasons most Wrangler fans want to forget.

 

Season 37 Playoffs N/A

The Calgary Wranglers did not qualify for the Season 37 Playoffs.

 

Trades (off-season):

To 
(S36) D - Godavari Yumalatopinto

To 
S38 CGY 1st (RW Bruno Wolf)
S38 CGY 2nd (C Seth Rollins)
S38 TOR 2nd (D Spud Murphy)

 

This trade at the time just looking at it, didn't make much sense to me. Looking back, it looks just as bad. Godavari is a fine defenseman but why did the Wranglers need him? They were coming off back to back seasons of 14 combined wins in 144 games. This wasn't going to work out and the Wrangelrs gave a CGY 1st, a CGY 2nd and a TOR 2nd. Just the 1st rounder may have been a good deal but the 2 2nds are jut plain bad but after seeing what that 1st turned into, it was just a bad trade overall.

 

To 
S40 CGY 2nd (RW Ryan Cattrall)

To 
(S34) LW - Steve Tremblay

 

The Wranglers continued to trade away picks for players as they picked up Steve Tremblay for a S40 CGY 2nd. Not sure what GM D_A is going for here. A quik rebuild? Doesn't make sense to me anyway.

Overall:

Henrik Larsson broke into the top 20 in Calgary scoring with his 164 points in 216 games. Sandow turned out to be 16th in Dman scoring and about 44th overall with his 1 season 51 point output. Haan, Smith and Lessio are in the late 40's to early 50's as well after this season. El Shaarway is 59th with his 14 point performance. Rock Star and Brookside are 9th and 11th in wins but they have pretty decent counting stats with a 0.919 save percentage and a 0.912 save percentage. Overall, it was another season to forget for the once proud franchise.
