I agree.
And everyone knew this team was on borrowed time.
Complicating things was Iginla's usual slow start but this time in a short season. There was no time to recover and polish the record over 82 games. And I don't think I need to mention goaltending struggles. Even when healthy, Kipper has not played as well as he used to. Our record since Iginla and Bouwmeester were traded is irrelevant as well.
