If you examine the last 16 games or the fact that this team is below.500 at home, you can take off the homer glasses and see the truth... Too many passengers on too many nights and not once sitting a player in the press box for a night or two to wake them up.

I'm not a proponent of weakening the team long term to push after this trade deadline, but this is an awful outlook as a fan.
Over their last 16 games the points break down like this among the teams you mention:
Flames 17 points
Kings 18 points
Sharks 20 points
Ducks 23 points
Suggesting those teams will be "unchallenged" by the Flames with how tight the standings are right now is an extremely bleak outlook.
Negative debbie downer fans of all those teams could be saying the exact same thing about the worst contracts on their team.
Just doesn't make sense to root for and follow a team and have such a terrible, pessimistic outlook.
The Flames are very much in the fight and it will be fun watching it go down to the wire. Well... maybe not fun for everyone.
