They have been so far but you make the logical mistake of assuming history will always repeat itself. It doesn't. And the old stars (Monahan/Gaudreau) are being replaced by new stars (Tkachuk/Lindholm.) Tkachuk's best playoffs are ahead of him, don't you agree?
We haven't seen a lot of Rittich in the playoffs so you can't really say that. Who knows if he can stand on his head or not. You're pessimistically predicting the future based on zero data. Kind of ridiculous.
I mean you're being ridiculous here again. Any team that gets in has a chance even if you Debbie downers deny it. Treliving is not going to sell in the middle of a playoff race, that's an absurd and preposterous suggestion. The owners should fire him if he does, they make their money by making the playoffs.
The calls for him to sell at the deadline are completely clueless. I understand why people are pessimistic but you're letting that pessimism and gloom cloud your judgement here. Selling at the deadline in the middle of playoff race when we could still win the division? That's idiotic. I mean we can't sugarcoat it. It's a dumb, dumb, dumb suggestion. I wish people would face reality here.

The two teams in the finals last year were St Louis and Boston. Those were two legit contenders with very strong underlying numbers.
Serious question: what about the flames seasons makes you think they can have a legit chance of winning this year? The Athletic puts their odds at 1%.
The eye test gives me the same results
