To the OP: I agree 1005 that the reason they were successful earlier is that they were skating more. Last night was a clear example of them NOT skating like they were 3 weeks ago. Having said that, part of the difference is that other teams have reacted to their style and have been exploiting it. Now they have to adjust.
To the topic: what the Flames need more than anything else is for fans to chill out. This is exactly why the organization was reticent to rebuild: fans can't handle it.
The absolute worst thing they can do is rush players and make short term decisions. Stay the course and stick to the plan.
