That’s because there are zero expectations for the Coyotes other than existing. They play in a freaking university arena.
I think part of the reason people are spiraling so bad is that the Flames were hyped going into this season even after all the turnover. They were considered a legit contender by the media and fans. The Flames had a NHL record holder LW, a #1c and two #2 centres, an above average D core and a Vezina level goaltender on paper going into the season. That’s why it was the summer of Brad. It does seem that the Flames records are inverse to the amount of hype they have going into the season though.
