Former doghouse denizen Michael Frolik has gone from rumouredly disgruntled to apparently gruntled.

What a difference a couple of weeks can make
According to Sagarin rankings at USA today, Flames have had the 4th hardest schedule in the league so far.
The Oilers? 28th hardest schedule

I always enjoy this particular ranking

Big fan of Frolik. (Not his agent)
He’s a winner.

Fro's a pro!

Watching the "Milestone" pucks being handed out, I'm sure some of them were for relatively small accomplishments. I suspect it was a Ward team-building thing. You can achieve individual success within the context of team success. Lucic's been around... he knew what Ward was doing.

If the flames do make the playoffs this season. I feel alot better with Tkachuk, Bennett, Lucic and Rinaldo. Even if they lose, the other teams not going to get out of it unscathed.

Oh we are 100% making the playoffs with our crappy division. We still need more grit though if we want to win a playoff game. Wish we would have kept Hathaway.

Rinaldo is the new Hathaway.

Man, I didn't expect this at all. He's been fantastic.

Flames win convincingly and Oilers get extra humiliated by Dougie on top of the loss...

His agent is a beauty too, willing to call out a terrible coach long before anyone else. Ice time distribution was always puzzling under the old regime. Frolik and his agent two beauties. Great win tonight for Frolik and the Flames.

Calgary ..the only team in the west and east to have a minus goal differential in a play off spot . Weird. How often does that happen?

About half the time (every other year), often in weaker divisions.
In 2011-2012, the Panthers won their division with a -24. That same year, Calgary missed the playoffs with a -24, and Montreal came in 28th with a -14.
