It's nice they are getting the wins they need to against this team, but the concerning factor is that this team is supposed to be a top 2-3 team in the division. Right now they are barely scraping by a Canucks team, that when coming in, was in complete disarray and looked at as the indoor doormat to the ratty outdoor doormat that is the Senators.
You need to be able to win ugly for sure, but 15 games in and I can count on one hand the games where I have been legitimately impressed or have even been entertained by what the Flames are this year. The other 2/3rds is a whole lot of ugly uninspired play that would result in some pretty embarrassing losses against the league's heavyweights.
It's getting old watching this group be heralded as a great team on paper, but perpetually unable to harness any sort of consistency, identity or momentum from game to game. I'm losing confidence this season is going to be any different than most the more games the Flames play.
