They're not skilled enough to be an elite offensive team, and they have not played like an elite defensive team. Only 30 games left to get some type of identity. Right now they're an aimless middling team at everything if seems.

The only other teams to not have a SO this far into the season is Columbus, Montreal, Vancouver, and Edmonton. It just goes to show how bad the Flames defense and goaltending has been this season. There have only been a very small handful of games they have only let in a single goal. Has to be a massive disappointment for a guy like Treliving that has put so many resources over the years into defenseman.
