When going 4-6 in your last 10 games moves you up three positions in the standings like you are a team on fire something is wrong. It's hard to accept that other more talented teams can be so bad while a decimated Flames roster full of AHL call-ups competes. This situations really sucks because it feels like the only way the Flames can get that elusive top 5 pick is to not even show up which means these more talented teams falling behind them in the standings are all quitters.

Ok. I agree then. My only contention is that Hartley needs to get these kids and vets fired up for each game and they should feel very disappointed when they lose.
My point gets to this: What does it say about a teams chances of winning significant games when a veteran is having a laugh on the bench after a teammate misses a good chance while the team is getting embarrassed in their own building by an AHL squad? It says they don't care and they're not being held accountable. That is NOT easy to remove from the room
