Flames d being overrated isn't really a hot take, outside of Brodie/andersson and at times gio, the rest kind of suck.
Tkachuk being invisible in the series is an obvious observation 2 games in.
I am over emotional, you got me there. As a lifelong flames fan, I have a hard time getting behind this current iteration of the team and giving any kind of benefit of the doubt anymore. The flames fan in me is excited to watch my team play playoff hockey, but I find myself disliking the flames more than the opposition for a while now.

You don’t think Treliving deserves
any credit to adding Tkachuk, Lindholm, Hanifin? What about extending the inherited pieces Monahan, Gaudreau, Giordano, Brodie, Backlund? What about the much improved, I would argue, drafting and development?
Not saying he isn’t deserving of some criticism, after all, which GM isn’t? He’s just like every other GM. When he took the job he inherited some good pieces and some bad ones. All things considered, I would say he’s a pretty good GM. Arguably the best we’ve had since Fletcher. Why are we so eager to run him out of town?
