3. The Flames were 2-7 in OT and 3-9 in SO
4. The Flames were the only team with less than 30 losses to miss the playoffs
My simple conclusions:
- the Flames are pretty good at hockey but quite terrible at modified hockey (4 on 4)
- the coin flip let them down. |
Good post, and I would also add that I think the Flames will be much better in shootouts this year. Management was raving about the shootout skills of Baertschi and Hudler. A few more of those points would have made the difference last year, hopefully we see a boost this season.
