This team just lacks the consistency but if they are able to put everything together they could go on a decent run.
The d corps is solid and I think still top 3 in the west, probably top 2 with Nashville. And they are starting to play like it.
I remain cautiously optimistic and hope that they make a move for a more solid bottom six winger to replace Bennett and let him stay on the top line.

This is the great Flames fan fallacy. They are not even close. Brodie is terrible. It seems like people want to hang onto the notion that he is still the player that was being talked about as an outside chance to make team Canada back in 2014. He has regressed since then. He is soft defensively, lacks mental toughness, and the offense he once brought is dried up.
We have an average D corp IMO that has not been exposed because of Vezina caliber goaltending for most of the year.
