I try to remain patient until the 20 game mark, but...
15 games played, with 11 points. That ties us with Vancouver for 4th worst.
The three teams beneath us all have 10 points, but Arizona and Carolina have only played 13 games, and Colorado has only played 12.
Flames are doing lousy, and there are few bright spots to be happy about. On top all of this, the games are not fun and exciting to watch either. They seem to be boring themselves to sleep, as having poor third periods seem to show.
I am not sure I can hang on until game 20. My open mind has at best a tiny little sliver open.
These games are not very fun to watch. That makes losing even worse. Of course the draft isn't a very good one this year, so the Flames come out crapping the bed at this point in their rebuild. Something stinks, and it has stunk for the majority of the season with the exception of an odd period here and there.
Gulutzan is safe until after December if this continues though, even if the Flames officially are in last place.
Positives this game - Deryk Engelland and Brett Kulak. Gaudreau gets a couple of greasy goals, and hopefully that gets him going again. Elliott made some nice saves I guess.
