I am actually getting more and more optimistic as we get closer to the start of the season.
Still some skill at the top of the forward group, and a lot of lunch pail at the bottom of the forward group. The D doesn't have much offensive flair though, they will need to produce as a group. They should be strong defensively though, and the team overall is on the bigger and meaner side.
With Sutter coaching a defensively capable team the goaltending should be solid.
But, it's the Flames, so I won't be the least bit surprised if they trample my optimism into oblivion by the 20-30 game mark.
