At this juncture of the season, I can’t help hearing this song in my head whenever the Flames allow a goal.
If it wasn’t before, the Flames’ campaign is now in serious jeopardy after their 2-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Friday afternoon. Calgary hit a lot of posts in Friday’s game but couldn’t tickle the twine with enough regularity to pull out even a single point.
A 19-22-3 record usually isn’t enough to even come close to a playoff spot in a typical season. The Flames have just 41 points in 44 games and now sit six points back of Montreal—which has played three fewer games—for the fourth and final berth in the North Division.
