Low expectations and they're exceeding them. It's good hockey to watch as well.
The surprises for me are how the spare parts are more effective than the last two seasons combined and we aren't even 10 games in.
Not surprised at Monahan. Sutters building him back up from scratch. I will say yesterday's game was his best game so far which is a good thing. My estimate is he should he back to old awesome moneyhands by game 22.
Overall I'm pretty happy right now with the Flames, they're playing the right way every game, they're getting tested and not crumbling under the pressure and they're giving full confidence to the younger guys like Kylington, Valimaki and Vladar.
I'm really surprised that Zadorov has been munching popcorn but who does he replace RN? Nobody.
