Bottom 2 lines look almost nothing like they did to start the season: crickets

One of the lowest scoring teams in the league last year and added no scoring: fans think contender.

This team was so good at scoring goals they gifted a middle six roster spot to a 45 year old. Signed Tanner Glass off a PTO (Because hey, beats playing Lomberg).

Explain to me how this is a good team again? I really don't see it.

Treliving honeymoon over. Selling all your draft picks to scrape into 11th place is not a winning strategy.

Just imagine this season with a Gaudreau, Monahan or Tkachuk injury.

This is an embarrassing roster.
Fake news. Check your facts.

Flames were 15th in the league in scoring last season, despite an injury to Monahan and holdout by Gaudreau. Without losing anything off the roster, Flames add another top 4 defenseman, a #5 who was good enough to play at #4 last season, and a legitimate #1 goaltender. So, yeah, fans legitimately expect more than a borderline playoff team. Instead, a better roster shows no more consistency and is on its way to putting up worse results.
