I personally think Conroy injects a massive dose of enthusiasm to the organization and Huska has the hockey IQ to strategize with the evolution of the game. And the organization has the most dominant goalie not already in the NHL.
The future is not as bleak as the negative Nancy’s would have you believe.

Not saying they can't have a good season this year, BUT
- Over the last 10 years the Flames are 15th overall in wins. Since 2000 they are 17th.
- Over the last 10 years the Flames have 16 playoff wins. The teams with less playoff wins: CBJ(15), OTT(13), VAN(12), SEA(7), NJD(6), DET(5), ARI(4), BUF(0). Since 2000 they have 41 playoff wins... only 7 teams (MIN, BUF, FLA, ARI, WPG, CBJ, SEA) have less.
This team has been nothing but average to below average and I understand why fans are frustrated. Why would people want more average? Average doesn't seem to cut it in the NHL.
