The Flames, whenever presented with any sort of hurdle or challenge, whether it's a do-or-die situation or just a mental obstacle...almost always fold on command.
There is zero mental fortitude or killer instinct with this team.

For the most part I’d agree. But I still think there’s too much overreaction going on with all the firing and zero mental fortitude stuff. This is a team that is still ahead of all these teams in the standings and closing in on the Sharks despite a rough start to the season.
We still own a remarkable record after leading going into the 2nd. We haven’t allowed more than 3 goals in regulation for something like a quarter of the season now. I think there’s definitely some positive things and the best thing is. There’s room for improvement.
