If this team really fancies themselves as legit contenders there's no excuse not to come out of that stretch any worse than 6-1-1. Good teams feast on bottom feeders.
I'm not saying they need that record to stay in the playoff race, but muddling through those games to a .500 record isn't something a team with cup aspirations should be doing. Hopefully they get off to a good start tonight!

Exactly. That's 8 games facing teams all outside the playoffs, except 1. If the flames can't win a high percentage of those games then I am ready to see the team lose a lot before the deadline.
This is the 2019-2020 Calgary Flames. If there's an excuse to be had, they'll take it. they've got a back to back in there (@the ducks for the latter game), 3 games in 4 nights. I think it's more likely that the flames go a game above 0.500 than to make some real noise here.
