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 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.
Last year we had 15GF, 18GA with 5pts this year we have 16GF, 22GA with 4pts.

Through 6 games I'm not sure why ANYONE is ready to say we're significantly better OR worse...I mean it's 6 games, even in a shortened season how can anyone judge one way or another?
