Agreed. I think this Flames team has a good of a chance as any of the past 7 years to make the playoffs. Having the legit coach who commands the respect to get his players to buy in is a huge help especially with the expectations being set in camp.
I think the other factor is the amount of guys on the team who can bounce back and will be motivated to do so. Johnny, Mangiapane, Tkachuk, Zadorov all looking for long term deals. Monahan and Markstrom are motivated to get back to where they have been in the past.
