Don't know where else to put this, somewhat on topic...
Since the Vancouver opening faceoff brawl and Tortorella incident in mid-January, the Flames are 12-8-1 (including the Van game which was the OTL).
It'll be interesting to see how we finish these last 13 games of the season. I always feel that it takes about 30-40 games to judge how good a team is... so the previous 21 + our remaining 13 gives us 34. If it's a strong finish, say 8-5-0 for example, our record in the last 34 games of this season will have been 20-13-1. I'd then set the expectation next season that we should be in the playoff hunt.
Looking at the roster, I'm not sure how we could make the postseason... but they seem to be getting the job done. Wonder if that continues.
