I'm quite confident now that many people are down on the flames and expecting a lottery pick, they'll play well for a week or two and get themselves back in the playoff discussion. Book it.

it's a young roster, i think we have to deal with the ups & downs that come with that.
I'm glad the team isn't throwing it in, like we see how the oilers teams have managed their seasons the past few years, and the issue it has created in the culture there.
As the season gets longer, looks like the team is averaging out as a bottom 5-7 team. I think at this stage of the rebuild, that's fine. Flames cannot use last year as a strong indicator of where they are at. This year is clear in displaying that. Some more high end skill and a major upgrade in goaltending is absolutely required for this team to become more of a competitor.
