Flames are basically .500 last 5 games the way I see it. Be hyperbolic if you want but they are likely a lot closer to being “great again” than being poverty mode.

Talk about moving goalposts....
You can see it anyway you like but the FACT is that they are not .500. They are 1-3-1 with 18GA in that time span. They got blown out by the Leafs, they got blown out by the Oilers (anyone other than Broissoit in net, Flames don't score those flukey goals.) and they got blown out by the Flyers. Yeah, all signs of greatness...
The Flames played fantastic tonight. There is absolutely no doubt about that. However, one great game doesn't suddenly make them play "great hockey". A bad team can play great and win a single game, a great team can play a bad game and lose. What separates them is consistency. A great team will play great more often than not. Can you HONESTLY say that the Flames played great more often than not under Gulutzan?
