I just think expectations for this year from many was just way too high for the Flames this year. I expected - Make the playoffs - maybe win round one. For me - that is a success in 2017/2018.
I generally agree. I think where you and I differ is on the timetable. I think there is an opportunity for this team this year to make a push—not that I expect it to happen. I view the next three years as the time for the Flames to start contending for championships.
