Where did I say that? I just said they weren't going anywhere which is not the same as saying I believe they are immune to a slump. Like you I don't think they are a great team. However like Vegas as long as they continue to win I'm not going to assume they can't keep it up. There's a good chance that by the beginning of March a few of these closely bunched teams will have fallen off the pace and I don't pretend to know which team that may be because it could be any of them. A lot of fans of teams the Flames are competing with believe the Flames will go cold after their hot streak and fall off so all these fan bases can look at the opposition and make cases to why they may fall off the pace just as we can make cases why a team like the Kings or Sharks may.
