[Caged Great]

2 years ago, the Flames season was over because Giordano went down with his bicep injury. Then the players stepped up and rallied because he was out and they made it all the way to the 2nd round.

Just because Gaudreau is likely gone for the remainder of the calendar year, doesn't mean that the Flames season is done. The Flames will need players like Bennett, Tkachuk, Monahan, and likely Jankowski (who I would recall in this situation) to contribute offensively to replace Gaudreau.

Doesn't mean that the road got any easier though. Players will have to step up and come together in order to over come this latest piece of adversity.
