This whole Flames suck narrative needs to stop. They just fully outplayed Rangers and Minnesota. And have done to a bunch of good teams.
Defense is getting better each week as well which is natural for brand new pairings.
Dustin Wolf- Goalie Development Done right!

Insanely fast mixed with great positioning.
The cross ice pass to a one timer that is usually a guaranteed goal doesn't seem to work on him.
They are winning because of goaltending, hard work, and luck. The highest scoring player on the team is Andersson at 130th with 13 points. Weegar is second on the team with 12 and Huberdeau is the leading forward with 11.
It will be incredibly hard for them to maintain their position if the goaltending slips and the scoring remains the same.
Or you know, the like 7 players on forwards don't all have the worst years of their careers.
I think its more likely that the goaltender thats been doing this for 6 years maintains than our entire offense stays snake bit much longer. I watch this team and say how are they not scoring like 6 times a game.
I watch them as well. The reason they aren’t scoring is because they aren’t that good. Huberdeau will go down as one of the biggest flops and regressions in NHL history. Coleman, Kadri, and Backlund are older. Kuzmenko is back to playing like a cap dump.
There is some solid talent in Zary, Sharangovich, and Coronato at least.
Alright well that biggest flop in history is our leading scorer... But yes I agree, I expect 3 or 4 players to surpass him, if not more. Sharangovich you can already see turning on. Zary should have 5 more goals at least. Coleman and Backlund have been amazing this year, their goals just come in waves like they have for the last 4 years.
I didn't realize 6 months made the whole team old and that much worse than last year.
