this is patently false
even the season they made the playoffs under hartley, they did it under the cloud of having to make 11 come from behind 3rd period victories(because they weren't playing well enough to have a lead, something the flames are good at now and have a 38-0 or something ridiculous after leading after 2). also they could not have asked the hockey gods to be gifted a better matchup in the 1st round that year
dont forget, glen came in because the flames were so bad the year before we were able to get tkachuk. once teams figured out the only way the flames could score was off the rush, they blocked the stretch pass and everything dried up
