Definitely, and the pressure will once again be the undoing of all those teams.
There's no pressure on Calgary because nobody around the game has yet figured out what to even make of the team's sudden success, and how they fit into the "contention" landscape, as everybody was counting them out as irrelevant at best going into the campaign. Other teams have a few seasons of failures compounded along with offseason additions that has increased pressure to show progress.
Perfect time to strike - while no one is paying attention or taking you seriously.
