The Flames are exactly as good as their record. That’s the point. They have the potential to be better. Even the coach seemed to know this and referred to it before the stick toss.
As an aside, I hope that this idea about injuries does not somehow end up being used as a major part of the narrative to excuse or save this awful coach
