This end of the world mentality after every loss surprises me. Everything is pure gravy this season. Team is exceeding all preconceived expectations of them this year.
I don't care if they miss the playoffs, I'm just happy with the fact that they've beaten teams in their barn after not winning in them for so long, bucking long standing winning streaks against the Flames. The emergence of so many young players, couple with steady play from vets is fun to watch.
Highlight for me so far this year, coming back against the Bruins who were something stupid like 91-0-1 or something when leading after third. To blemish that streak AND get a W against the Bruins who have, let's be honest, spanked the Flames routinely in their sparse meetings is utterly fantastic.
This is a fun season, even if they limp home down the stretch. No one can deny this season has shown s all the progression we need to see when going through a re-build.
