True, but hockey is a team game. Right now, special teams are improving, and goaltending is solid. Those are good signs.
The Flames' two biggest offensive threats have been far, far below their standards. If the Flames maintain this level of play, and Monahan gets back to being Monahan the Flames will be alright. If both Monahan and Johnny (when he gets back) click like days of yore, they will be better than alright.
You pay these guys top dollar to do the heavy lifting. Defense is vastly improved IMO, now it's up to the top forwards to start scoring.
The first 15 games of the season were a tire fire from top to bottom.
