The Calgary Flames head into Barclay's center which means it's once again time for the annual interview with a resident Flames expert, Matchsticks and Gasoline's very own HockeyGoalieEh. Wait a minute... Anyway, let's get to it.
The Flames surprised some people with their firing of Bob Hartley. Were you surprised?
No. Hartley consistently rolled out a team that was near the bottom of nearly every possession metric imaginable and had the worst-ranked special teams last year. He made the playoffs once during a four year period only to regress heavily and wind up bottom-dwellers again last season.
