I haven't watched any Flames hockey this year. My team is in the East and just lost to the Habs. Habs are a quick team with good goaltending, but they are going to fail. They won't finish first in the East. Just because this article is about the Flames "failing" doesn't mean no other team is going to falter.
That being said, the Habs made the playoffs and had a legitimate shot at winning the EC last year, so there is more proof that they can continue to win (with sustainable numbers or not) than there is for the Flames.
I'm hoping Flames keep it up all year. My first winter here in Calgary and a playoff run would be great
