I did say that I think we will be better than those teams because of our leadership (Gio mainly) coaching and an influx of some more good youth (hopefully). I didn't mean to insinuate that we have improved substantially in those areas, but I also don't believe we are any worse either.
Hey I know I'm in the minority here in regards to possible improvement (red colored glasses lol)
Gio is an incredible captain that leads by example, every single night (one of the better leaders in the league) I don't put much stock in losing Cammy or gaining Raymond tbh. I also believe we have one of the best coaches in the league. Add in another year for colborne, monahan, backlund, and Brodie, add in some more GOOD young talent, Gaudreau, Poirier, or Grandlund possibly, maybe Bennett. They were 'in' almost every game, tons of one one goal games. This was with Gio, Glencross, Ramo out for a period of time. Even cammalleri and wideman were out for awhile. Hiller has to be an improvement on Berra. Berra cost us quite a few games.
Anyways, Like I said I know I'm in the minority here, but I like what's happening and I stand by my call and I believe the flames will be better in the standings than the oilers, jets, Canucks ��. It's okay to disagree tho.

I'm there with you in that I think the reasons they did "well" last year are some reasons they might do better this year but at the same time I see that other teams have improved as well. Last year a few things actually went well for us and they will have to happen again in order to be as good as last year. The bad things that happened to us happen to every team all the time, injuries happen and are more common than guys having career years.
All the reasons you think the Flames will do better this year are all the reasons most of us are excited to watch this coming year. I think they'll be a fun team to watch but I just don't see them being too successful. Either way, it's going to be another great year of hockey.
It's so funny that when we were expecting them to be a better team and they were average, everyone was mad but now that they're a bottom 5 or so team, everyone is just enjoying the game more.
