I think the Flames have been well scouted and teams are better prepaired when they play against us. That's not to say we haven't been playing well, it's just that other teams are playing us better defensive wise.
Our top 4 d men have been logging more ice time than I would like and I feel it's leading to mistakes that are costing us wins. Add to the fact that Hartley doesn't have much confidence in our fith and sixth d men.
My feeling is that we will fall short in our playoff asperations and that could lead to some interesting times come the trade deadline.
