"If not for the exxon Valdez, the Calgary Flames would be the worst tankers ever
Looking at the Calgary Flames' roster, the safe assumption was that they were trying to lose. Matt Stajan as your first-line centre? Joey MacDonald and Karri Ramo as the goaltending duo? One got the sense they'd have put Andy MacDonald back there if he'd have agreed to it. It was the roster-building equivalent of a cry for help, or at least a bid to get some with a high draft pick.
And yet the Flames have points in every game so far. Every. Game.
Part of the blame for this has to fall on Sean Monahan, a rebellious 18-year-old that's hellbent on doing things his way, scoring a bunch of goals and keeping the Flames in games even though that's not what's supposed to be happening.
Can the Flames keep this up? I'm saying no, but only because I'm so terrified at what yes might mean that I'd rather remain in denial about it."
