Sure, now you're seeing the roster implode and not have top quality goaltending to bail them out, but for the most part this roster has shown to be very good this year. They just need decent goaltending and a coaching staff that can help them navigate tough rough patches. But the coaching staff has list the room months ago.

Agree with pretty much everything you're saying in this thread, except the bolded: Flames had started winning before the stick toss (which was initiated by a lazy practice after a win). They won a few more after that, then slumped. I still maintain that the stick toss did little to nothing, as evidenced by players laughing it off in interviews later that day.
As for this game, I briefly thought about writing another post with my usual critiques about personnel decisions, strategy (still no one-timers on the 1st PP), etc., etc., but I just can't be bothered. Apathy has set in. I hope the Flames win, but can't get any emotional investment any more.
