I know I've been one of the biggest GG detractors all season, but it honestly seems like there has been a positive shift with this team in the past 15 games and its really accelerated into something of significance the past five to nine games or so, to the point that the team is actually consistently passing my eye test for the first time since GG has coached.
- better offensive cycle
- more activation of defensemen
- fourth line is contributing
- more attention to detail on the PK
- better bench management
- Bennett emergence
- Less unforced errors by defensemen
- PP looks only slightly sub-par
I know the flames look all but out the playoffs...but Im actually starting to think they've finally emerged.

I hope you are right, but the competition has not been teams that matter as much as those in the playoff hunt in the West.
The last 4 have been against very bad teams, all ranked 23rd and below. They lost to the team in 23rd, beat the 3 teams in 25th place and lower, and I can say they made it look pretty easy against the 31st place team.
So let’s see how it goes against opposition with something to play for.
