I don't understand why long winning streaks are getting dismissed out of hand as freak things that can't be relied on and won't happen again. I can guarantee that even if somehow the Flames aren't much improved from last year, at least a couple of times their sticks will get hot, the goalies will turn into force fields and they'll go 8-1-1 over a 10 game stretch.
if that's how they end up making the playoffs and are totally unremarkable without the streaks, oh well. it's just like how people say if you take away a team's best player(s) then they're not as good. wow, crazy insight.
