Actually it's not. We know what Bouwmeester is as in 6 games we have already seen the good, bad, and the ugly. We know that Giordano is still sruggling since signing his deal. We know what Iginla is and he's off to another slow start on the scoresheet. We know Kipper has alternated good and bad seasons annually going back to Playfair and so far he sure looks like he could be on bad year. We know Cammalleri was struggling mightily in Montreal before being sent back to Calgary where he is struggling again. We know that the Flames team boasts a lot of middle of the road players that can have some great nights and some not so great nights. We also know that the team lacks difference makers much like they have for the past three or four years now. We also know that there's a very good chance these guys do what they do every year which is pick it up in the middle of the season only to fall apart down the stretch. Been going on annually since Darryl stepped down from the bench. I think it's a bit much to expect Hudler, Cervenka, Sven, and Wideman to change what's been going on here for years now.
Now I cannot say with 100% certainty that this will not buck the trends of recent history but the 2013 Calgary Flames are far from an unknown quantity.
