You think it's abundantly clear that the team is no worse than last years, a 10th place team, aka, a bad team. It's abundantly clear to me that they are indeed worse, and the first and only place I have to look is their record, the premier evaluation method of success, to see that they are, indeed, worse. Worse than the start the Flames had last season where they were in 13th until December. Worse than the start the Flames had last season where they held a playoff spot for less than 48 hours combined hours.
Through 6 games, they've scored less goals than last year and allowed more and have a worse record. I don't know how you can attempt to spin that as if the Flames aren't worse than the 9th place team (that went for it) they were last season.

Pretty much. The fact is that this years pig may have a lot more lipstick than last year but it's also a bigger pig. The record is
MARGINALLY worse? Guess what. Marginally is still worse and until we see otherwise the team simply isn't better. For the record I like Hartley and feel he will be a fine coach for the Flames but the makeup of this year's team is just as flawed as past years and it remains to be seen is there is that special coach out there able fix the real issues that ails the Flames.
