I can't find it now but was it Nazem Kadri who shot down a reporter near the start of the season who was asking about the Flames being projected to be a bottom five team and Kadri said something like "Well, there's a lot of people writing us off but we haven't even played the games yet. We are going to surprise a lot of people."
Something like that anyhow.
I've been thinking about that quote a lot the past couple weeks and what an amazing season for the Flames to be one of the final teams battling for a playoff spot, the emergence of Dustin Wolf who once again rises to the occasion, the development of our young players, our unheralded players, our veteran leaders. If it weren't for our terrible OT record, we'd likely be in the playoffs for sure.
No matter what happens tonight, I think all of us will remember this season very fondly!
