I understand all the negativity. Flames are in a tough spot. But they have a lot of "taking care of business" games left on the schedule:

3 against Arizona
2 against Edmonton
1 against Ottawa post deadline
1 against Rangers post deadline
1 against Buffalo

They also finish the season against Winnipeg and Vegas at a time when both teams will have their playoff positions locked up and with not much to play for.

Obviously non of these games are gimmes, especially since Edmonton in particular has not been an easy out for the Flames, Arizona is playing much better lately, and they have also lost to the Rangers and to Buffalo this year, but still... if you include the final two games, that's 10 games where the Flames should be the more motivated team, nearly half of the schedule. There is reason to be optimistic if you want to see it.
