Remember that time the flames blew leads in 4 consecutive home games after the deadline with their playoff lives on the line? Was it 4 consecutive 3rd period leads? Who can even remember anymore?
Watch Calgary go on a run to get them back in the 'playoff picture', where 'playoff picture' means 8-11th pace.
"If only we'd won more shoot outs and other consolation tie-breakers," exclaimed Flames management, "we would have had an opportunity to show that the answers are in the room."
