Lots of good debate on here and twitter as to what is ailing the flames most this year.

Lots of candidates to choose from.

Poor special teams (much of the year)
Poor shooting
Poor bottom six
Slow playing style
Poor goaltending in Smith’s absense
Poor mental preparation
Poor home play
Poor coaching generally
Poor roster management
Poor in-game management
Defensive breakdowns

I am of the opinion that it is really all these factors combining and compounding and rearing their ugly heads at different moments in the season. Or is there one or two overriding factors screwing up their season?

What are the best solutions for next year? Many arguing not to panic and to tweak the lineup or to change coaching staff.
