Lanny McDonald and Jamie Macoun have heard the buzz, as has Kris Versteeg.
Heck, they’ve helped create it.
The Flames’ seven-game winning streak has shifted the conversation from whether the Flames will make the playoffs to the possibility of a first round Battle of Alberta.
While Edmonton has finally stabilized into a consistent winner destined for its first playoff appearance in 11 years, the Flames manic approach has them on a 12-2-1 run that suddenly had them tied with Anaheim and two points back of the Oilers before Tuesday night’s action.
The trio appears destined to battle it out for second and third in the Pacific division, which will meet in Round 1.
