They have improved by leaps.and bounds. Maybe they just aren't world beaters and being merely playoff Calibre will have to do until they get some better players? As a flames fan I will take it and so should you.
What is the basis for believing this team is better than their statistical output or record? This is arguably the best Gaudreau and Monahan have ever played, and Smith has been great. Brodie is on pace to break his career totals. Is this team the Pittsburgh penguins? Can a comparison to a mid season coaching change for the penguins be anything short of laughably absurd?
Let's live in reality here.

I haven’t seen a defensively sound team considering the focus on acquiring d man even compared to what they did last year goalies not withstanding. More often than not I haven’t seen a team that looks prepared either that can and should be improved. That is the reality. You said it yourself certain players are putting up the best numbers of their career and we’re barely clinging to a wildcard spot. They are in a window I don’t think we sit on another year happy to be a first round out. Some of us want to see some progression.
