Again ridiculously awesome is a little strong but they did play well last night. Overall this season they have played poorly though and that should have more weight than one game in which their opponents were at 40% at best.
I am commenting on how they are playing not complaining and I thought they would be an 8-12th place team not the worst team in the league that they look like now.

That's fair, good points.
Secondary guys likely won't keep up the paces they're at now. However I would throw in Hudler as a possible exception, just based on his hockey sense, skill and ability to find players in open ice. He may not be as consistent in stretches, but those attributes remain with that type of player and make them dangerous at any time.
And well, by 'Flames standards' I would have described the game as such. And that's simply my opinion on it, was thoroughly entertained. You may call it an overstatement, but that's also your opinion.
I agree with you in that I'd have put them in the 8-12th range. And I believe they'll get there (well hope). That's where I think Iggy and Cammy will play a part.. and that is simply a prediction. So far they haven't. But whether it's catching a goalie on a bad night that gets them started, I think once they do, they will take off offensively.
