There are also a lot of teams that I think feel they are close - where adding a piece could put them over the top. Thinking that if the Flames are dealing anyone of note, they probably only want to do so to the east I think you still have

- Buffalo
- Philly
- NYR
- Tampa

Who all could be driving for a championship, or at least think they are.

This would be the perfect year. We could be out of it and only have to suffer for a couple of months.
Having said that, I see so many positive signs that I could actually see this team going on one of those improbable runs. Every year there is a team that rattles of a 20 game stretch of success that no one sees coming.
This last game comes down to goaltending and goaltending only.
In reality, this team could have won every game it has played( should have been up by 4 after the first period against San Jose). I like the way they are playing, and when Kipper becomes Kipper again it could be very fun to watch.
