How do you think the flames will do in the regular season and playoffs?
What will you be happy with?

I heard some of us talking about it's still not even that likely that the Flames will make the playoffs. I strongly disagree with this and would be HUGELY disappointed if that were the case. I'm starting to get pumped again about the young talent on this team with another year of growth. And the possibility of more consistent goaltending.

I'm thinking what if Bennett really comes around, Janko steps in, Tkachuk DOESN'T have a sophomore slump, and we have Stone as #4 for the whole season. Things will be looking pretty good.

My expectations are for the flames to have a much stronger regular season - finish maybe 4th-6th in the West, and win a playoff round.
I also hope we do better in the 2nd round then we did last time around, I would consider that a modest success.

We could even do a poll here if mods were interested. I'm pretty interested in the percentage of people that don't think the flames will make the playoffs.
