There is still a long way for this team to go and this is a very small sample size compared to an 82 game season.

True, but it does begin to demonstrate what the team is capable of under the right circumstances. Complacency had set in, standards were lowered, and excuses have been made for poor performances. The Flames culture has been complacent for some time.
I do expect a measure of complacency to creep in, but nothing like what we have endured here for years. And if management cannot keep the ball rolling to an acceptable level, then perhaps they need to go next.
