Given the atrocious start the Flames had this year and how poorly they were playing even two weeks ago, I thought they were done. Yet here we are on Dec 8 and they are now just 4 points back of 2nd place in the Pacific Conference - amazing.
The Flames defence is looking more like the formidable force we hoped they would be at the beginning of the year, Ramo is building some confidence, and the Flames can ice four legitamate forward lines.
And within a week both Bouma and Russell should be back. My pessimism may have been misplaced as this team begins to kick into a new gear!
