This is the year. It’s got to be.
The 2020-21 (really just 2021) season looks to be lining up as the season where we finally find out for good whether or not this core of Calgary Flames players can lead the team to a championship, or if it’s time to consider starting fresh. Granted even if the Flames don’t find success this year, many faces would return but this really feels like the Flames best chance to make a significant run.
In the Canadian Division the Flames face a slate of good to very-good teams, but I think you could argue that no single team is the division can be classified as elite along the lines of a Tampa Bay, Boston, or Colorado.
