The Flames have me cautiously optimistic...which is something I didn't think I would be saying. They have played a brand of hockey that is actually watchable and have finally found some consistent scoring depth.
That being said, this is a small sample size against a fairly soft schedule (even if those teams were playing well, some of them were missing key pieces or had played a fairly soft schedule themselves)
I am hoping for more than a make it in and lose in the first round scenario but I don't believe the Flames have the horses to run with the other playoff teams in the West.
