I'm not convinced... and I have a reason!

The argument that has been made is that because the Flames aren't controlling the play, they can't sustain their current record.

The Flames are down 5 regular starting forwards including their 2nd and 3rd line centers, and three scoring wingers (one of whom can also play center).

I would argue that the Flames' poor possession numbers are due to INJURY and circumstance... not poor play.

If the Flames can keep themselves in it until Backlund, Stajan, Colborne, Raymond, and Jones are back in the lineup... I think they have a shot.
