NHL Midseason Shockers: Which Teams Are Soaring and Which Are Stumbling as Playoffs Loom?
Calgary Flames: D
The Flames weren’t a favorite to make the playoffs despite nearly accomplishing the feat last season. Especially with their offense trailing behind the rest of the league. And if they weren’t on trend to do so, they needed to sell hope with their future. Fans weren’t given that hope after some confusing comments about a retool and rebuild earlier this year. Their youth needs more time and opportunity. But they’re in the hunt for a top pick in the draft, which is sorely needed for the franchise to take that next step in its evolution. — Julian McKenzie
