Too bad our season opener will be missing 2 key guys for the Flames, but if they can steal a win in Edmonton I like the chances for success in the first 20 games (relative to past years). Once Jagr & Jankowski slot into their permanent spots in the lineup I think the whole teams confidence will grow to believing anything (and everything) is possible. My intuition tells me Jagr signed with us because we have the best outside chance of going all the way compared to his other suitors. Why else would he endure the western conference travel, cold winter, increased fan scrutiny, and higher Canadian taxes?
Either way, I'm optimistic. Go Flames!
