Scoring talent, and head/PP coaches.

Those are the two big killers.

These guys can fly when they feel like they can be game breakers / when their hearts are in it. Hard to maintain that level of confidence when most of the scoring ability comes through two players. When their games dry up, so then does the team's.

GG doesn't motivate well, his system drains creativity, creates fewer odd man rushes, and allows for the opposing team to enter the zone with complete ease. It relies on a near perfect 60 minute execution to pull out wins, whereas you'll see a number of teams that can win their fare share of games on a few quick rushes and being opportunistic, which so happens to be the sort of game that the Flames' weapons could thrive on. The two coaches don't adjust when it's needed, and only well after the answers are made obvious.

Add scoring talent, swap the coaches/system and I think you see results.
