What an awful call grading the Flames season as a C-.
But good to see so many people coming out in our defense in the comments.

All my homies hate Julien McKenzie
I’ll be honest I’ve never really liked him. The fake laughing, the pronouncing English, Czech, German etc names like they’re French…. He’s better than Francis but it’s close.
The part that gets me is its a C- because of the Sean Monahan trade.
That trade is garbage but doesn’t take away from the team doing well and so making that the best pick going to MTL. If he said C- becuase the Flames basically chose no directly this season (not good enough, not bad enough) then yea.
Who?
He sucked when he was here. He sucks now.
Meh, it stings a little less since Montreal is getting our 1st (weird sentiment though), but I gotta agree, it was a tread water type season. Had some surprises, played alright, but at the end of the day, not getting a lottery pick, and not getting a playoff game. C- is fine.
What doesn’t make sense to me is that they dropped a full letter grade since the mid season point. How can the flames be a B- then but only a C- now?
