TBH It's more fun to watch the panic that occurs after 2 games.
I'm as disappointed as everyone else. But how could no one see this coming? Common. The Flames usually start out bad every season. Literally EVERY season with the exception of a couple. This is the norm.
Johnny had no training camp. The team has a new system. Monahan is coming off an injury. Elliot is very quickly learning that the Flames are no where close to the Blues. Edmonton is riding a high with all the changes they have made. Hamilton is a notorious slow starter every year. Same with Gio and Brodie.
The coach is a complete unknown. Not some robotic entity where what you see is what you get. He's human also and will take time to learn exactly what the players' strengths are and what works best for the. That will take time and patience.
This is entirely predictable for a team that is STILL rebuilding going into year 4. The game isn't played on paper, it's on the ice. Clearly it will take a while for everything to come together and gel, if that even happens.
