They totally dominated the Flames in a nothing regular season game. Wait until they step it up a notch in the playoffs. They are the best team we have seen in a long time.

Not even close. Unless a long time is a few years. Washington finished the season with a .732 win pct a few years ago. Chicago with over .800 in lockout shortened season. TB is .772 but it’s only February.
One of the greatest regular season teams of all time, the 1995/1996 Detroit Red Wings, didn’t even make it to the Stanley Cup finals.
