These are NOT the Edmonton Oilers, because as we all know E=NG, and this team is definitely NOT no good. (Sorry for the double negative)

We certainly are not going to be drafting first overall without a lottery win, but that team does stand as a cautionary tale against getting too excited too fast. The Flames 14-2-2-2 start to 2000-01 (or 01-02?) also.
Regardless of all that, there is so much to be optimistic about. As an earlier poster noted: right now, we have a Jack Adams-calibre coach, a Calder-calibre rookie and two Norris-calibre defencemen. If that all holds, no reason not to reach for the moon.
