Bob Hartley has worked hard to instill a culture of winning despite four bad seasons prior. There's no question that this team believes in doing the right things and playing the right way. The love to win and hate losing and will put it on the line to do so.
So, for those of you on your high horse about "not cheering for losses" because we're going to "turn into Edmonton", p*** off.

I guess those who want a higher draft pick should be upset that Hartley is working to instill a winning culture. What is happening to the Flames is exactly why they won't suck enough to pick top 3.
I don't care what the gong show Oilers are doing either. Hartley and his team isn't going to hit rock bottom. The Flames need their fanbase to cheer them on in their quest to win games, not to be upset they didn't suck enough to get high end talent. Hoping they lose is pointless.
Anyway, I hope they win. 5-1, Bouma hat trick.
