meh, i thought this team should be selling at the deadline, or at the very worse, staying pat...
i honestly don't get the ppl that continually say "you can't win every game"... i mean, obviously that's the case; no team in history has gone undefeated.
but using the same explanation in explaining away losses to teams like Ottawa, Mtl and LA by saying things like "even Tampa Bay or Boston loses games" is a straw man argument... sure those teams can lose those games because they win a ton of other games.
The flames simply do not have a margin for error. Losing to Boston isn't a big deal only if you are beating the bottom of the barrel teams. Losing to Boston, while simultaneously losing to bottom feeders, carries zero weight as a cogent argument.
