And to think we have so many injured guys and a cupboard full of promising prospects. Whatever the Flames did in the past 2 years in terms of developing raw talent and skill has changed the team drastically. Years ago we could hardly string 2 passes together and the games were slow grinding games along the boards. I applaud whomever is behind the resurrection of the Flames, whether we make the playoffs or not this team is in amazing shape.
The best part is that you can just tell they are going to compete every night not because they are forced to but because it's in the teams makeup now, it's so ingrained into the identity that we are getting the best out of so many players. Even freakin Smid had flashes of offensive potential.
