Superstition and history have nothing to do with winning playoff series.
The Flames have finally corrected many of the organizations weaknesses that have plagued the past.
They have finally drafted talented impact players. They have depth. They have work ethic. They have a great coach.
This new era of the Flames isn't the one we grew up with.
Flames in 6.
