In the 4 W's the Duck's needed to get past the Oilers they had their top-4 D all averaging over 20 minutes a game.
If ever there was a chance for the Flames to beat the Ducks it was in last years first round series.
PS sorry for being off topic but that series was so frustrating and makes me see more of a glass half empty....Sure there was crappy goal tending but there was none of the great Flame players that stepped up and refused to lose... Vertsteeg and Bennett were the only players that in my eyes were playing the way the whole team should have been.
This is my last post on that series
Trying to tie it into Jagr...... will he provide the Flames with heart and follow me leadership when they are faced with adversity? I think there is a better chance for Iginla to do that for a game or series.

As usual, despite all of your text and jumping from one thought to another four times within the same post... no, I have no idea what you're talking about.
It was a disappointing loss as Flames fan, but it was also the first place team in our division with home ice advantage and more experience playing a team that just squeaked in.
As you always are, you seem to be suggesting there is some inherent flaw with the Flames that you need to enlighten everyone on.
What we saw was a good young inexperienced team with terrible goaltending lose to a better more experienced team.
The sky isn't falling.
There is room for the Flames and their young core to grow. Your glass half empty syndrome is ever-present and unrelenting.
