A team that is afraid to make a mistake because every mistake ends up in the net, is handicapped, demoralized and prone to make more mistakes. Poor goaltending will bring any team down in more ways than one. When you are not able to rely on a goalie to bail you out once in a while, you end up with the worst g.a.a. in the league, like the Flames have. Before everyone gets run off, it might be beneficial to start building from goal out.
So what's the excuse for missing the playoffs the previous 3 years?

That often its no longer bad bounces or bad luck or 1 or two bad players. It's a bad team.
