With the Flames, the expectation is there but im not certain all signs are pointing towards them making the dance.
This debate reminds me of the gong show at Christmas in Edmonton and Letestu saying (paraphrasing) "guys are kidding themselves if they think we are making the playoffs" and then they go to Connor saying "we are going to make the playoffs"... The vet seen the writing on the wall and the kid was delusional in his thinking..
I think BT needs to hedge his bets here... Listen, making the playoffs is a large leap from winning the cup.. I know, get in and anything can happen.. But I think we can all agree that the Flames are close but not quite there when it comes to competing for a cup.
So why not get ready for next season and make a few cutthroat or savvy moves to maybe make the dance now and make the owners some extra dough but also be in a better spot next season with an improved roster for the next head coach?
