I think the team is largely improved from last year and the team is at least entertaining to watch which is more than I can say for the past couple years of Flames hockey.
And also, failing is not winning. No matter how Bob MacKenzie, Dreger et al want to spin it. It is an embarrasing way to attempt to build a team and it should be punished not encouraged.

no panic here...have over 250 games of evidence that a rebuild is overdue. a first class franchise would have started one sometime in 2009 or 2010. this team/organization still has an extremely shortsighted view (whether it be hanging on to iginla for too long, not being sellers at trade deadlines or signing too many forwards to ensure sven a top 6/9 spot) that is inevitably driving it towards ongoing mediocrity (at best). the time for panic was a long time ago, we're well past that point now.
