I said this in the PGT, but I'll say it here too. If the Flames had even an average PP, they'd very likely be battling it out with Vegas for 1st in the Pacific right now.

Aside from that, I would argue that this is most definitely a playoff-caliber team. The defence has been stellar lately, allowing only 2 goals or less/game over the past month. The goaltending from both guys has been excellent. Their 5 on 5 play has been solid, and the PK has vastly improved from where it was early in the year.

Fix the PP and this team will be deadly.
