Not generally a Flames fan, but...
I just have to love a team with so little expectations from the "experts" that refuses to play down to same. When I was a Hockey coach, I always emphasized "best effort" and some "RRRRH" over the technical side (to the expressed chagrin of those who felt that competing hard all the time was not really important? - one doesn't want to injure their fragile "self esteeem"). Love the way this team is over-achieving with such a theoretically "weak" roster. Have to assume the coaching is a huge factor. If only the Oilers would show half the same grit and competitiveness. Go Flames!!
