This core group still has some developing to do before I am comfortable making a determination. The on ice results just haven't been there yet so can't say yes, but they are just too young to conclude they don't have the potential.
I'd be a little more comfortable if they had put more of a scare in the Ducks. Yes it was closer than a four game sweep would indicate, but I don't subscribe to the snake bitten narrative. When each game was on the line, my recollection was that Flames 5 on 5 offence didn't threaten.
