I don't expect success, but expect more exciting hockey. So so so so so so so tired of watching the classic formulaic Flames games:
1) Flames try really hard for 10 minutes, get up 1 goal.
2) Flames go down 2 goals.
3) Flames make too little too late effort, punctuated by careless blunder that results in team losing.
I don't expect this squad to win the championship, but I expect them to hit, play hard, and, at the very least, attempt to make skilled plays. I'm at the point, where I am prepared to watch the team lose as long as they play exciting hockey. I also want to see the team adopt a team style offence. No more focus on just one player.
I also expect the young players to learn and improve through the season. I'm more concerned with that than their record.
I do expect Baetschi to be a Calder candidate. For him, I have high expectations
