This is a fun team to watch, but they don't have the talent to keep up this pace. The other teams in the league will get their stuff together and the Flames will begin to fall back to the bottom of the standings where they were projected. MacDonald isn't a starter. He isn't even a good backup. The team has two pair of defensemen worth a spit and a bottom pair that give the fans heart attacks. The forwards are working their asses off, but what do you think is going to happen when you insert Stajan and Cammalleri into the lineup? Two less guys that will be willing to give it their all and less effort all around. Effort is contagious and when you have a couple of your guys not willing to go hard every shift that attitude filters through the rest of the team. I love the team that is being iced right now, but it just isn't going to last.
