Maybe the team had a core of stallions that had to be broken before they could be retrained to play pro hockey the right way?
I see the Flames as a team light years ahead (ok ahead), but individual mistakes simply killing them.

So you're saying the Flames are 'visually' better?
Part of me agrees. Another part thinks they've swapped issues but haven't really solved much.
Used to be they could (mostly) score but made big mistakes, couldn't defend, and couldn't reliably beat many teams. Now they can (mostly) defend but still make big mistakes, struggle to score and can't reliably beat many teams.
They do look more controlled. The GA isn't really much better than 2-3 years ago though. Will the Flames from November come back and finish out the year, or is this it?
I don't mind if the Flames are waiting for that answer before re-upping Treliving.
