Friends, in our travels throughout the city, we’re hearing two things from fans of the Calgary Flames. The first is excitement about the possibility of a lengthy playoff run. The second is a general level of gnawing anxiety: the fanbase seems to know that the team is good, but they’re worried that the good times are unsustainable and that the proverbial Charlie Brown/football moment will soon be nigh.
We dove into the individual results for the team’s key regulars and the good news is this: most of their breakout offensive seasons are driven by process, not puck luck.
