Well, the day after, I'm not overly impressed...but realistically didn't think this iteration of the Flames was going to go far in any event. Won't stop me cheering for them (I could NEVER cheer for tanking or losses) but it also doesn't inspire me with a great deal of confidence.
This team - where "the answers are now in the room" as they all love to tell us...needs to CONVINCE me that they DO have the answers. I just haven't seen that all year. They play small, scared, inconsistently and not all that smart or fast some days.
They've put themselves in a bit of a corner - yes, they're still in a playoff spot - but their home record has been poor and they have a LOT of home games coming up. Time to pull on their big boy pants and prove something to themselves - and by extension, to us.
