The last dance: 2021-22 Calgary Flames season preview
The year was 2013. Coming out of a lockout, the Calgary Flames were attempting to take one last swing at the proverbial playoff pinata with star forward Jarome Iginla before his contract expired and he walked into unrestricted free agency. Unfortunately, the Flames just didn’t have the horses to pull it off. Iginla was traded in the spring and general manager Jay Feaster was replaced before Christmas as the team began a rebuild
Eight and a half years later, the current vintage of the Flames is in a similarly precarious situation. Welcome to the 2021-22 season, where the Flames will either turn the corner or probably face significant change.
