Nault was also poking fun at Wills' optimistic nature again butting in and asking if Derek didn't meant Rasmus would put up 50 goals while Wills was giving his take on Anderson. Surprisingly Wills smoothly pokes him back jokingly with "yeah, 50 in 39" and continues.

It's like he was saving all his wet blanket energy for that first regulation loss against a good team to blast everybody with glass-empty smugness.

Amazing that their play that garnered points in 20 of 25 and their second best 25 game start in franchise history after only the cup season was completely lost on him in all his rambling. Bleak, hopelessness ad nauseum. And Mangiapane's great season is actually bad news because he's doing way more than should be expected, and we're lucky to be riding unsustainable contributions that go back well into last season and the WCs, otherwise our poor depth would be glaring. This despite the fact that two guys up the road manage to sustain a 2 ppg pace to buoy that team nightly and he doesn't bat an eye at them. Yup. Let's disregard the fact that Mangi is a 40 goal guy in the last 82 games now and among the league leaders in even strength goals and expected goals over the last few seasons. Nope, dude is a flash in the pan still according to Will.

Or maybe you need to get caught up on what Mangiane has established himself as now and why Team Canada is looking at him. Think you might have a handle on that by now given that you cover Flames hockey in Calgary?

What really got me is his proclamation that they would go "nowhere" in the playoffs with their current depth. Nowhere.. Bit of an overstatement don't you think. How many teams are playing like the Flames, as well or as consistently? Very few. Maybe they don't find a way to solve Vegas if they went on a run, but that's not the same as going "nowhere" in a western conference that is filled with underwhelming teams, which includes the Avs who are defensively nowhere near the level the Flames are at this year.

####s sake. You have one of the top lines in hockey, and both your goalies are top 5 in the NHL which is, like, UNHEARD of. Not only that, the Calgary Flames are literally the stingiest defensive team, in the NHL, but they won't go anywhere in the playoffs. Incredible. All because Monahan isn't chipping in enough, a problem that is unsolvable for a GM.

What a Neggie Nancy.
