That's absolutely false. The team has finished much higher and much lower.

Some of the handwringing is because the team happens, by sheer coincidence, to be right in the ‘mushy middle’ of the standings now, and Monahammer is convinced this is because the current management is doing exactly the same stupid things he imagines every Calgary GM in history has always done.

In fact, the team had a really hot start and then cooled off. At some point in falling down the table, you will be in the middle, guaranteed, unless your team is actually good enough to stop falling. This one has shown that it really isn't.
