The Flames have 5 point-per-game players

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe the craziest thing is that those 5 players combined make a shade over 25 million with Tkachuk due an obviously huge raise coming off his ELC.

McDavid-Draisaitl-Nugent-Hopkins-Lucic = 33 million combined

 

[sufferer]

One look at their roster and I thought they’d be borderline contenders heading into the season. Glad they’re not another disappointment.

 

[JianYang]

I know Rittich has done well, but from what I've seen, Mike Smith has been a tire fire ever since his injury late last year.

Which makes their record even more impressive.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

The Flames have to be the surprise story of the season so far. I didn't expect them to be terrible but I didn't expect them to be this good either.

Nice to see.

Not even sure how the math is possible, but the Flames are near the top of the league in goals against per game... And their starting goalie has some of the worst stats in the league.

The Flames are a team that has been trying to address their holes in the off-season for a while.

This year it's working so far.

Is this factual? The Flames have allowed the 8th fewest goals against this season from what I can see.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I think they will go deepest of any Canadian team.

 

[Mobiandi]

They've looked great so far but they still don't seem to match up very well against the good Pacific teams. They need to iron that out by the time March and April hit

 

[Duffalufagus]

Imagine if they get consistent .915 goaltending.

The Flames have played more games than most teams. I'd consider top 6 or so near the top.

They're 3rd in GA/Game. 5th in GF/game, 8th in pp and 16th in pk.

Good for the Flames. They're having a nice year.

Johnny hockey embarrassed the Jets tonight wow

 

[BlueBaron]

Times have changed in Calgary. I'll be interested to see how they do this post season. Do Flames fans think they will try to add much at the deadline or will they dance with the Flames that brought them?

 

[BlueBaron]

27 years at the very least haha.

Last time we had a good team it was just praying Kipper saved enough that Iginla could win it by himself while we were getting bombarded

Who was your #1 C back then? Can't remember.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Meh, so do the Leafs.

Marner, Matthews, Tavares, Reilly, Moore...

They will be adding the James "the real deal" Neal at that time.

David Moss

Conroy or Langkow

Conroy! That's who I was thinking of.

Kipper and Jerome were special players.
