A team, perhaps outperforming expectations, with a penchant for dramatically coming back in the third period, all the while led by a defenceman over 30 years old playing at the top of his game? No, seriously – what season is this?
The 2018-19 season has drawn its fair share of comparisons to 2014-15: a year in which the Flames shocked the league by making the postseason, in part due to a handful of third period comeback wins. This season, the Flames may shock the league by hanging around the top of the standings (at least they are two months into the season), plus they’re doing that whole comeback win thing again.
