Good article Darcy. How much are the Flames paying you to spread their propaganda?

I kid.

I'm still not convinced. The very stats you are citing in your article are what kept giving me hope in the 2nd half of last year and so far this year.

But this team is missing that feeling or x-factor for me. They appear to come out flat or sleeping more often than not. Why is this? This group was built the right way by the GM, but I fear this is not the right coach to lead them and get the most out of them. They are falling short of expectations in almost all categories, not least the standings. I would have expected the underlying stats that point towards more success come to fruition by now. Enough minutes of hockey have been played, yet they are still well below expectations.

I hope I'm wrong and they do turn it around, but I'm not confident it since we're almost 40% done the season.
