I would hope the Flames can do better than this.

I agree that it's whelming at best. But it's a baseline now, and hopefully things can improve from there. And there has been a lot of chatter about soft returns for Hanifin, so I was getting a bit nervous. If this is what transpires, it isn't terrible.
