No better time to start than now.

I mean, you're not wrong, but all teams outside of 4-5 are susceptible to losing to teams behind them in the standings regularly. It's almost as if the salary cap has created a high amount of parity in the league or something.
Plus, it's not like the Flames are anything more than a playoff bubble team this year anyways. They're right where I thought they would be at this point in the year.
