Unless the goaltending improves this team is going nowhere. The team's overall play of late hasn't been as bad as everyone here seems to think it has been. But Johnson has been pretty lousy. The guy is a career backup so it had to be expected he'd regress some.
I think if the Flames want to salvage the season they're going to need to pray Elliott can return to form. With the goaltending the team has gotten lately it doesn't matter what the rest of the team does - they're not making the playoffs.
