Yeah yea, our coach sucks, no killer instinct, our PP sucks, we've overpaid for Hamonic, we should be first in the division with our talent. What else do these whiners got?
Does anyone really think that there are teams in this league that don't battle inconsistency?
Flames will be fine, I'm looking forward to the playoffs.

That's what being a fan of a wild card contender is like I suppose. Every team in this league experiences ups and downs and every fan puts on the blinders and thinks they're the worst team in world and everyone needs to be fired and 50% of the roster needs to be shot into the sun.
What's really happening is that the competitive balance has never been better and standings are tight every year. Unless you're a basement dweller, talk of firings and major roster changes don't happen. We're still in it, weird loses and bad streaks happen. We played the 2 best teams in the league and lost. Ok, that'll happen, maybe not in the way we lost, but these aren't divisional or conference rivals who can take a playoff spot from us.
