Holy crap.
I'm one of the gloomiest Flames fans around, but that's because all I want is a good team to cheer for, and they rarely deliver. Average at best is what they usually give us.
But this team is playing unreal hockey right now. They are probably the best defensive team in the league and they have one of the best goalie tandems in the league backing up that strong defensive play.
They are no slouch offensively either, but if there is a weakness it would secondary scoring. Well, they just added a very good player who can provide secondary scoring, with the added bonus of him also being a very strong defensive player, and with Cup winning experience to boot.
Shore up a weakness, and believe it or not they also improve upon their biggest strength.
They're big, they're mean, they play as a team, they're absolute possession and advanced stats monsters on top of everything else.
This is what we've all been waiting for FFS. Get on board already. This team might not win it all, but they sure as hell look good enough to do it so get excited. Otherwise what is the point of being a fan?
