It's a really annoying schedule from a game frequency perspective.

I think i saw that the flames have only 11 games in Jan. The team is just coming off the xmas break, then their bye week break, and then the allstar break.... UGH. talk about making it difficult to get into a role/rhythm.

Then in february, a month of only 28 days, they play 15 games.

What i have learned about the flames this season is the opposition itself is slightly less meaningful. This team can look damn good against anyone (beating the kings, blues, ducks, etc) yet, it's their ability to show up for a game and start on time which is the bigger problem. Hence, i think the upcoming schedule is going to be quite a challenge for this team.

I'm hoping that there is a change in the mentality of this group and we begin seeing a much better probability of the team starting each game on time.
