We've lost quite a few games in there where we outplayed our opponents and lost, complete reversal from the start of the season. Our PP and PK were ranked 10th and 12th last season respectively and we have virtually the same personnel. There's definite room for improvement and we're not relying on Mike Smith to steal us game and after game anymore. I think once we start to get even the slightest of improvements on special teams and some puck luck and hopefully the 1st line starts to get it going again (and they're due), I think we can start to play at a .600 winning percentage level which should be enough to get us in to the playoffs. I'm not 100% confident that it'll happen, but I don't think it's out of the question either.

Could just easily say flames started season 3-1 and have since gone 15-14-3
