This Vegas season has 17-18 Flames written all over it. In a playoff position pretty much all year, but then blow up right at the end due to injuries. If memory serves, the Flames lost Matthew Tkachuk and Mike Smith among others and Vegas lost their power forward Mark Stone and now Lehner. The Flames didn’t have much puck luck that season and I don’t think Vegas has had much this season either. Both teams traded away their 1st too. Lots of parallels.
Either way, wouldn’t be sad to see them go. Having to play in T-Mobile 3 times would be nightmarish.
