This will officially complete 50% of the season. It would be a nice chance for the Flames to pad some stats and a nice dominating win could result in a double digit goal differential and a win would have them on pace for 94pts.
Not an overly impressive first half but I am okay with what they have done. I set an arbitrary timeline of half of the season to let this team gel. As the season goes on I expect significant improvement and anticipate this to be one of the very best teams in the league from here on out. If not I will probably be judging them more harshly than I have.
I haven’t checked if Pelletier is playing but the fact he is with the big club is encouraging and I feel like he could be the key piece missing on the Kadri line. Hopefully he plays soon
For tonight I feel confident as they are playing the worst team in the league and I feel like this group is a little more humble and knows they need the points and can’t take the Hawks lightly.
