But this may be the wrong thread to be bringing this up, probably best to talk about it elsewhere.

In the first place, overconfidence isn't really something that fans need to worry about at all. I expect the players to have a firm grip on the reality of their situation, and that is all that matters. Second, there is a chasm of difference between the Flames current winning streak, and the streak they were on in Nov/Dec, which was on the back of a string of really good goaltending performances.
I completely disagree with the bolded sentence: the way the Flames are playing there is no way they can lose their next seven games. There will yet be losses along the way, and the team will probably experience a slippage of sorts, but they deserve credit for being a damn good team who is playing some damn impressive hockey.
