Do you still believe in Stanley Cup parade this season?

[alko]

Flames are one of few teams i bet for a Stanley Cup winnier for 2017/2018 season. They looking good, but they are not so special, as i thought.

There is still hope, they will win it.

I think they have a chance, but I don’t consider them a favourite. They still have quite a bit to clean up.

If everything aligned, including the sun and the moon. A possibility but rare.

Before this winning streak had started, I was quite resigned to not getting very far into the playoffs this year, if we even make it.

On lengthy winning streak doesn't change that, although there's reason to be optimistic if they can continue to play like this down the stretch, and don't fade out towards the end of March like they always do.

I honestly see the West as wide open. Don’t really see a team that is clearly a teir above us except Tampa.

There is so much parody right now. Any playoff team can win if they get hot at the right time.

But I think if our special teams can improve, we have a good chance.

I don’t believe in parades unless Garfield is involved.

I believe there will be one this year, in Calgary? I don't think so .

I mean, if you make the show anything can happen, just don't think it's our year.

"Still"? I think we're a ways off so I never considered there to be any sort of parade. Maybe when we're making 2nd/3rd round appearances on a regular basis, but until then no.

There is so much parody right now.

There's lots of "parity" in the league, but the only parody of a team I can think of right now are the Oilers

 

[SaintMorose]

"still" implies we were all planning a parade over the summer.
Over the Summer I think we were hoping to improve from a team that got knocked out with 0 playoffs wins to a team that can battle to take a playoff series deep or win it vs a decent team.
If Bennett and Jankowski can start adding more points to "looking dangerous out there" then we can start talking about a deep run but right now we're a playoff team that needs a good number of things to fall our way and not a true contender

 

[Anglesmith]

Yes, I do!

Brayden Point is from Calgary, isn't he?

 

[DCDM]

Yes, I do!

Brayden Point is from Calgary, isn't he?

According to the broadcast of the Tampa game, he has been born in Calgary 37 times.

According to the broadcast of the Tampa game, he has been born in Calgary 37 times.

I wonder if he knows Calgary native Mike Green.

Calgary has beaten LA quite a lot recently, have beaten Anaheim in both Calgary and finally California, have dominated Minnesota in every game against them (even though we lost twice), have beaten St. Louis easily twice, destroyed Winnipeg at the beginning of the year (though this upcoming game on Saturday will be an actual test), have played Nashville quite well in recent years and won against them this year. Flames beat the top 2 teams in the East.

Only team the Flames haven't played are the Golden Knights and we still are hopeless against McDavid.

If Smith gets hot in the playoffs and our first line is firing on all cylinders (last year only Monahan was going, Johnny and Ferland were hopeless) we could go very far.

We did not dominate Minnesota in our last game at all. The prior two contests I thought we were the better team, but in the most recent matchup, we were extremely lucky to win.
