Whatever the Flames do, long term success requires a mix of talent, youth and experience, right now they are only leaning on experience.

Don`t know, I think we can match most teams with skill and the youth is coming along. IMO todays NHL is more about who wants the win as almost every team has similar talent. When the Flames lose I rarely think that the other team is much more talented, it`s more a case of them looking slow and unmotivated. If Hartley can motivate this team then good things will happen.
