It’s a new year, which means the Calgary Flames can leave all their baggage behind in 2017. Let’s check out five New Years resolutions for 2018.

The Calgary Flames had some great times in 2017. They made the playoffs after missing the year before, they signed an NHL legend, and they FINALLY won at the Honda Center! Sometimes, I still have dreams where all I hear are chants of, “We CAN win here.”

But then… there were also some not-so-great times. Like getting swept in the playoffs, some signings that weren’t great, and Kris Versteeg requiring surgery and being out for months. But all of that is in the past! I mean, I still cry about it all, but who doesn’t?

One of our writers here, Tomas Oppolzer, wrote about some resolutions for players and members of staff. Last year, we put out a New Years Resolutions for 2017. And to be honest, they actually kept up most of what I put for that. Except about Johnny Gaudreau learning his fruits and veggies. I’m still not sure if he knows that or not.

So, without further ado, here are five New Years Resolutions that the team as a whole should have their minds set on for 2018.
