I feel like this is probably the best year for the Flames to finish in the bottom 5. The biggest reason for that is that we don't have to suffer through a full 82 game season of being a bottom feeder. A quick 48 games of exciting, non defensive hockey, where we lose a bunch and end up 26th in the league.

We can at least have hope for a successful season for half of it, then it's only 20 or so games where it means nothing.

I don't hope for this to happen, but I have not seen anything different on this years team that makes me think they are any better than the last three years. Kipper playing like Dan Cloutier definitely doesn't help our chances either.
