I love how last year it was all about how the Flames would have made the playoffs if not for the terrible coaching of Brent Sutter. Brent Sutter was preventing this team from reaching the greatness that it could easily achieve if he did not hold them back.
This year it is "Wow, we are the most entertaining losing team in the NHL. I can take the losses if we continue to be such an entertaining brand of hockey". I guess it is different standards for different years.
Sad fact for the Flames is that they had the easiest schedule of any team in the league over their first 6 games and they are 1-3-2. Perhaps they will start to pile up the wins as their schedule gets more difficult, but that seems unlikely.
