Regardless of the current players or coaches it's still a fact the Flames are on a streak of losing playoff games where they have teams on the ropes. Until that streak is broken it's very relevant.
Because it's bound to happen for every team at some point? NHL franchises play a lot of games in a lot of different buildings for decades upon decades. At some time every team going to go on a long losing streak in a certain building (especially once you add in the loser point and shootouts which take away the option of a tie).

There doesn't have to be an explanation for every little stat in sports. Sometimes it's just the way probability works.
