I don't think that we have to worry about the Flame's play dropping off like last year.
Injuries aside, Treliving changed out 3/5 coaches and 9/23 of the starting roster from last season.
It's a much different team, so I doubt that they drop off much at all.
Actually, I really wouldn't be surprised if they continued their good play all season long.
The playoffs may be another matter, as there is not a lot of playoff experience on this team. They may have to lose during a deep run this year (WCF?), before they are ready to win it all next season.
