I'm not convinced this Calgary team is a contender, and I think they won a few games they shouldn't have on that streak, but they walk out that same game as last night more often than not and they're money for a playoff spot.

If the Flames are out in the first round again would you support a major overhaul this summer?

Honestly, I hope we NEVER win the Conference or League standings during the regular season ever again.
This isn't a 'Blues' thing, but I'm less convinced now that that has any merit to winning the Cup. You need a hot team/consistent team at the RIGHT TIME, period. And the whole expectations going in as that much of a favourite seems to do The Flames especially no favours.
That's my take anyway, so honestly I'll be happy to see us make playoffs and hopeful if we go in reasonably hot vs. limping in (which is what we tend to do more often than not when we make it in).
