Figuring out how to mount comebacks is a trademark of any good team. I can't believe how often this is spun as a negative.
It's true that good teams also have to learn how to prevent digging holes more often than not and the Flames still need to figure that part out, but no one ever thought that last season's team was a finished product or that the game plan was to sit back then make comebacks game after game. Saying that it is unsustainable to rely on that model is pointless since it was never the plan to maintain that model to begin with.
