I've been getting a bit of an '86 vibe from this team for a while now. That year's Flames had a really hot start, then went into that infamous 11-game losing streak (while fans screamed for Cliff Fletcher to be fired because the team sucked and he was doing nothing). After the team worked out of its slump, and only then, Fletcher made the big trade that brought Joey Mullen to town.

They rode that wave all the way to the finals – and I believe they would have won the Cup that year if they hadn't had so many injuries during the playoffs.

So here's hoping.
