Well, lets look at it this way. The Calgary Flames historically suck something awful after the All-Star Break, they compounded this with their mandated PA break.
However, they werent exactly 'Hot Awesome' going into those breaks either and to say they've been wildly inconsistent is an understatement and an insult to the wildly inconsistent.
There are Meth addicts that are more reliable than the Calgary Flames.
Markstrom has sucked something awful for most of the season and Tanev....well, Tanev seems like he's subscribed to some bizarre version of 'Air Miles' for injuries, like he's awarded points for being hurt or something.
Now! They've gotten a long break. An opportunity to unwind, maybe do some soul-searching?
Tanev got some time to rest and heal, Markstrom had the opportunity to screw his head on straight and this team has undergone a great many changes during the off-season, so there is no logical reason to believe that historical trends should apply to this particular group of individuals.
So maybe they'll come out of this break refreshed, re-invigorated and they'll approach their upcoming schedule like a Bull in a China shop and just tear the back half of the season up!
Right? RIGHT??
Ugh...I think that level of attempted positivity has actually made me physically ill.
