Incredible things?

The team finished 6th worst in the league last year and is out of a play-off spot so far this year despite a lot of lucky bounces going their way.

If this is what you consider incredible can't imagine the adjectives you use for coaches like Babcock and Quenville that actually gets wins and decent play from their team.

Baertschi and Backlund will.

And even with that said, these two players have not played bad at all. They should be playing more than they are.
Says the arm chair coach who knows better that Hartley.

Just seeing the Canucks players makes me sick to my stomach, go Wings. Oh and Torts's face looks like leather.

He's earned some of that but at the same time it's still early. They're really only a couple of losses away from where everyone thought they'd be. Not enough to raise him above criticism, surely.

Russell has logged 20 minutes of icetime already. We're seeing what this guy is made of. I like him.

Jackman & McGrattan have been out there for 2 mins each.

Love that the McGrattan's and O'Brien's on our team are neutralizing the Leaf's equivalents. Important against a team like the Leafs that generally want to physically dominate their opposition in order to gain an edge in the game.

Kudos to the Flames for not getting discouraged. So many quality chances and subsequent saves made by Bernier. Kinda wish we made a pitch for him when he was available... good old hindsight.

If this team chooses any of those three over Baertschi and/or Backlund then we are far worse off than I thought.

The way he has the whole team buying into the system and playing their arses off every game deserves some praise. We are definitely overachieving so far this year.

That pretty much sums it up.
Chances 21-10 Flames. And almost all of them (except 3) from the slot or crease.

Russel was a great addition made by Feaster. Hope to see him long term with the Flames.

I'll make a judgement when there are more details, doesn't sound good though.
