It's great we're fighting for the playoffs. But looking at our division, it's completely disappointing we're not fighting for the division title. Kings and Sharks are nothing special IMO, yet we're 7 points behind LA and 1 point behind SJ who have 2 games in hand (so it could be 5 points).
I agree that it's completely unrealistic to expect that everything will be clicking at once for an entire season or even for a prolonged period of time. But the Flames cannot get it for just little bit.
If the offense is great, the defense sucks. If we're playing well defensively, our scoring dries up. If both are decent, our PP lets us down. If our PP is hot (as it was for a while), the PK sucks.
It is incredibly frustrating. It's why I find it difficult to get excited even though the Flames are playing well (minus the PP), I just know the wheels are going to come off at some point soon.

People aren't defending the coaches for the season, they are pointing out that they won and some of that is on the coaches, just like the losses.
Plus, Anaheim is a good veteran team. Good top 3 defence, good goaltending, and Getzlaf obviously is still a stud. They are deep enough down the middle and have very good wingers. Calgary's lineup includes a bottom four that's pretty terrible, a third line that didn't click until December, for various reasons, and a great top two lines.
