I talked about the Calgary Flames earlier in the season when they were hot, and I talked about them when they went through what I'd refer to as a market correction, but 16-4-1 in the Pacific Division right now is pretty well off the charts. The Pacific Division and the Central Division are considered the best divisions in the NHL, so it's just crazy to think about the Flames' record against Pacific Division teams.

The Flames are supposed to be in a pseudo-rebuild, and yet they're so good. They're not super elite, and yet they beat super-elite teams. They're very good. They work exceptionally hard. They never quit. They have a lot of skill.

I've got to give coach Bob Hartley so much credit here.


I played against Bob Hartley teams in the American Hockey League, and this is a different Bob Hartley. His evolution and growth is incredible. His demeanor is completely different. His tone is completely different. His approach and mindset are completely different. And all of it is different in a good way.

I have noticed two trends in the media that I like this year that make me very happy.

1. They have stopped giving the Oilers a free pass for underperforming. I haven’t heard one commentator say something along the lines “this Oiler team is going to be really special in a few years once the players develop” . I think the media has finally realized that KLowe and Co don’t have a plan beyond stocking up on 1st overall forwards.

2. They have given a lot more praise to Calgary. Gio is getting mentioned as a Norris frontrunner. Brodie is being recognized as an up and coming no 2. The young players have gotten plenty of attention. Hartley has being a recognized as a great coach and mentor. Its refreshing.

16-4-1 against Pacific division is pretty damn impressive.

Loved the bit about Hudler as well.
