This year has been so much fun. I actually was quite excited to start the season because I was eager to watch our young talent develop... but this season has still far exceeded expectations.
I still think that it will probably be (barring a miracle) a few years until the Flames are ready to leap back into the postseason but I am very optimistic based on the results this year, that the team is headed in the right direction.
Huge props to all of the players for buying in and to Bob Hartley and his assistants for doing such a fantastic job with coaching the group. If things look good at the end of next season, I would like to see Hartley extended for an additional 3 years. He deserves to be the one to lead this team back to the playoffs, and it would be nice to have a long term coach.
