Nice to see another win, and the Flames deserved it. They were the better team. The next three games against some very good teams will be telling. I still think they have too many holes to make the dance, but if they can keep this play up they may yet surprise.
I Still think Treliving needs to make a couple moves to improve the team in areas of weakness. The Flames need a goaltender. I'd seriously take Bernier over what we have right now. Hiller needs to be on the same rocket where Wideman gets fired into the sun. He is not a NHL caliber goaltender. Not even close. I think we would be improved substantially by adding Bernier and subtracting Hiller, and the acquisition cost should be low. I'd also be moving Russell. The team plays better without him and he could still return something of value. Small additions and big subtractions make the team better. They've clawed their way back into the mix, so I hope Treliving makes the moves to improve the club where they have some glaring weaknesses.
