The Calgary Flames are not one of those teams.
So where, precisely, do you ‘know this script’ from?

Sorry, I spoke metaphorically.
The script occurred in 2018-19 when the Calgary Flames won the Western Division and had more points than anyone but God, and then got skated out of the barn by a determined Avalanche team. The top line was real good that year, though I think not as good as the year before (when Hudler was still here EDIT LOL I'm old, Hudler was 2016).
If Monahan isn't good/healthy/active/scoring/competing this team is in real trouble come playoffs. He's hugely important... possibly the most critical link in developing an actually dangerous second line.
You think the team's good enough as is? I don't.
