It's not the long game.
You hope you make good calls on the tweeners as it's embarrassing when you mess up and a Martin St. Louis emerges.
But you can't just always call up the top three scorers on your AHL team and not have NHL veteran depth around because you're living in fear.

Over the years what I'm willing to accept as a flames fan is "just don't embarass me". The Peters incident was handled professionally...if it wasn't I wouldn't be a fan anymore. So that's what I reflect on the last 30yrs the most.
On Phillips it made me wonder if the Flames led the league in 5'7" players that scored 1000pts+...maybe it's our ironic cross to bear. Let's lean into it.
