This is the first time this team needs to face a real mental challenge, and I would not be surprised to see an even lower low still. Heck, I will not be terribly disappointed if it will take most of what's left of the season for the team to find consistency again.
Everything is easy when you're winning. This is a good time to see what our players are made of. And of course if Hartley wants that Jack Adams, now is the time to earn it
In any case, way too early to say playoff hopes are gone. Just as teams like LA, SJ and Minnesota can probably play better than they have, Calgary can also play better. Besides, teams like Vancouver and Winnipeg are also headed for a reality check. Lots of games left.
