Or really, I’m just someone who thinks that the players on the ice are more important and more accountable towards the actual success of a team. Everyone plays the same style of hockey in today’s game and I’d prefer not to see this team have to adjust to a brand new coaching staff and struggle again out of the gates.
Everyone here whines and complains about coaching, but the actual difference between us being a playoff team right now and us currently is 2-3 wins. That’ it, and how many times have we seen individual mistakes cost us those potential 2-3 wins this season? Frolik’s blunder, TJ’s turnover, dumb untimely penalties from whoever, bad pinches, missed saves.
Lots of stuff that isn’t coached, but more so a split second reactionary play that has cost us. That’s my opinion. Everyone here can hate it, I really don’t care, but no one has said anything here to me that’s so concrete and so sound that has changed my mind.

You're right, there have been games where the Flames lost because of few mistakes. However, there were games where the Flames were completely outplayed yet won/forced OT because of Mike Smith and Rittich. Also, other teams also make mistakes. It's not just the Flames.
Brad Treliving sent a 1st round pick and 2 second's for Hamonic. Why? Because he believed that the team was ready to compete. Not just playoffs, divison, maybe even for the Cup. Hell, even Gultuzan said this is a 100 point team.
Yet here we are, battling for playoffs and outside looking in. I cannot really understand how can anyone look at this season as a whole and not be disappointed.
