This is extremely simplistic analysis. The 2013-14 season, in which the Flames finished 27th in the league, was the most entertaining and fun to watch season since I can't even remember when. Possibly since the '04 run. You could immediately tell that there was a significant change in culture. The work ethic did a 180 degree turn.
