I don't think people need to be too worried about eating crow re this team.
For the first 40ish games this year, it was one of the least entertaining/convincing performances by any Flames team ever. They were awful, and the games were largely unwatchable. If anything, I think the Flames owe us GCL/Center Ice users a refund for the first half of the season.
I'll take a Stanley Cup in lieu of an apology though
I will admit to one thing though: I was wrong about Dougie Hamilton. Dude rules.
