Flames Focused on Results, Not Sentiments
October 1st, 2018 It's been well-documented that the Calgary Flames fell well below expectations in the 2017-18 National Hockey League season. If the theme of last season was "dashed expectations," the theme of the following off-season was "sober second thought." A year ago, the Flames roster and coaching staff was full of sentimental favourites...
