If an NHL team has ample skill and desire the sky's the limit. Whether the roster is a mix of small and big, young and old, fast and slow it matters not as long as they have enough skill and the desire to do what it takes to win on a nightly basis. Flames have the former but not the latter which is where we are today. As we saw in 2004 you don't even need to have the most skill as long as you have the most desire as that team was willing to do everything it took to win. I haven't seen a Flames team with less desire to win than this one since the 2007 Playfair team that got embarrassed in the playoffs which is why it's so hard to cheer for these guys this season. Nothing worse than being invested in professional athletes that are just punching the clock on a lot of nights.
