I think this has a bit more to do with it than people want to admit. I believe the Flames have the top line talent to compete with anybody but after that things trail off quick. Even the 3M line struggles to light the lamp despite being one of the better possession and shut down lines in hockey. So outside of the 1st line the entire team doesn't have the horses the fans like to believe.
I may be in the minority here but I don't think the Flames are as great on paper as some others believe. This isn't a situation where GG has a Stanley Cup contender line up and he's failing to live up to expectations. He's got a playoff team line up and that's the pace they're on.
