I still think they're a good team and they make the playoffs. Although they look to be trending to a wild card spot again. It's easy to get upset by this but look at the teams in front. Vegas and LA are top 5 NHL teams. Heading into the season who honestly felt Calgary was going to be one of the best teams in the league? If you did you were just setting yourself up for disappointment.

I think that the Flames have shown that the have the talent to be in the top 10 in the league. However they have also shown us that they either don't have the desire to show up every night, or they are just that inconsistent that they can't execute to a level required to be a top team in the conference.
Personally I think the systems are crap, they have very little puck support in all areas of the ice and rarely enter the offensive zone with speed and numbers
