Definitely think the Flames are playing better than their record indicates. They have looked good and are just starting to really put it together the last couple of games. Gotta think there have been at least 3 games that we lost that coulda/shoulda gone the other way (Chicago, Colorado, even San Jose and Anaheim). The games we have lost we have barely lost and the games we have won, we have won rather convincingly.
It's especially hard being around Oiler fans every day who constantly shove it in my face that the Oilers are looking so good and the Flames are in last place. The Oilers have played 9 games and only have 1 regulation win to show for it. Plus I'm pretty sure they have a grand total of about 4 or 5 5-on-5 even strength goals all year. Food for thought!
