Calgary Flames quietly leading the NHL in preseason standings

[Mr Positive]

Just to play along, nothing kills a team the way a distraction does. It can be a cancer. The looming exits of Hanifin, Lindholm and Zadorov were that distraction. They lost a lot of talent but might play more freely and focused.

Yeah, while I don't see them making the playoffs, I can see them within striking distance. Hot goalie down the stretch, then maybe they sneak in. If the boys buy in they will be a royal pain to play against. It's an intriguing lineup. Can't wait to see how they do.

I can’t see Calgary being remotely close to a wild card this season. I don’t get the love that many are seeing. Combination of hopefuls and washed vets at this point. Out of the playoffs by November 30.

Washed vets? Have you even looked at the roster haha.

Yes. Washed vets and hopefuls.

Sorry, Mr Edwards if I offended you, but it is what it is.

 

[DJJones]

Yes.

And thats the conclusion you came too haha.

Plenty wrong with the roster, no true 1C, questionable second pair, untested goalie.

Washed vets ain't an issue.

Wake me up once they've burned a few villages.
