The last time the Flames had someone in the top 5 in both categories was 07-08 when Iginla finished 3rd in both categories. Last time they had two players in the top 5 in either category was 88-89 when Mullen and Neiuwendyk tied for 5th in goals. The Flames have never finished a season with one top 5 goal scorer and a different player top 5 in points.

Sean Monahan has 25 career GWG, tying him with Lanny McDonald for 6th on the #Flames all-time list. The five guys ahead are Jarome Iginla (83) and four guys from the 1989 Stanley Cup team -- Fleury (53), Nieuwendyk (43), Mullen (33), Roberts (27).

That ATL read like a GT. It's the same thing across the league.
Fans of x team: "OH look a rookie no name goalie, bet you he shuts us out in typical team x fashion. Always happens to our team"
"The league/ref is out to get us"
"Refs are blind/made the wrong call"
"Coach needs to go/stupid decision is being made again".
"Oh somebody's on a cold streak? We're going to help break it."

Most importantly, he's 23.
Pretty remarkable.

Sorry but I do disagree. Guaranteed the Flames read this site, they hear and read what people say, they understand what the fans are thinking. The Flames aren't taking their cues from fans but it doesn't mean the fans are irrelevant. Francis tweets the other day about how the fans need to calm their tits. How does he know? Where is he getting that from? What other source is better than this website? Come on now, don't be so naive. If you were in the NHL, would you read this site? I sure as hell would. Fans matter.
I'm sure there is some truth to this, but I at least hope Troy Brouwer stays away from this site for the time being.

Don't forget "We always give up rookies' first NHL goals!"
