We can go back and forth about whether that is coaching or players, or both. I just don't think I've seen enough to believe that everything continuing to go the same way will eventually blossom into the types of results we all want -- which is cup contender. I could be wrong -- I hope I'm wrong. But I think eventually BT has to figure out a way to get the team into another gear.
We all see different things.

The Flames gave up 3.25 Goal per game up to Dec 5th which is in the range of 27th in the league.

Since then it's 2.20 goals per game, which is first.

That says a team is playing a good system. Defense wins.

Will the finish come around this year or next? Not sure. But I wouldn't blow up when seems to be coming together.
