I'm going to say it's years of fan shell shock from stressful stretch runs that didn't turn out very well.
Have to remind ourselves that the current iteration of the team is much more capable.

Only back to back is isles/devils so almost no travel
Will be great test. May be first time they face any real adversity? Potential is there. Hopefully not

Yeah that month is as ugly a travel schedule as i ever remember seeing.
Fortunately the Flames picking up 19 of 22 points in January gives them some room for absorbing what surely will be a less successful February.
I would think if they can come out of this month with 16 of the 26 pts available, they will be in very good shape to finish on top of the division and likely the conference as March sets up for some real success as well.

Anything can happen in the playoffs
With that said. I think The Yotes have a solid 10% chance to make it in.

This Feb stretch is going to tell us a lot about what kind of team we have. Tough schedule against good teams with lots of travel. It is different this year in that we are going to the dance either way, but if they really struggle (<.500) then my expectations for a deep run will soften for sure.
I think we learn a lot this month. And, Smith is going to play. So get your rabbit feet out and start rubbing!

February will be a tough stretch with a lot of games against playoff bound teams, but it is more than made up by what should be a much easier March & April to finish out the season.

Bru-tal scheduling. I hope they're getting some solid rest on their breaks.

If they navigate this month at something like .550 they win the div imo. February is the first big test to see what we have here.

Geez, bit of a slow return after the break...2 games, then a 3 day break, which is the longest they get for the rest of the season. Need more Flames hockey now!

The way I look at it is that it’s compressing the rest of the season which will mean a ton of hockey down the stretch into the playoffs!

The good thing is over the course of the next 11 games are done, we will be done those 2 long (distance) eastern swings.

I'm worried that they haven't been great since the break - not terrible but sloppy. If they don't straighten it out soon the next stretch could be difficult and they may be looking up at SJ before long. It's refreshing that only seeding is at stake this year though.

Update for this week. Big game against TB that will determine the fate of this 7-game segment.
I added a column for change from the previous week.
Despite a pretty bad week for the Flames, still a decent amount of movement outside of SJ.
