If that's fancy to you I can't help you.
But yeah the team had a terrible bottom six, the top six had the talent and were pretty dominant but they just didn't finish to their career averages and that lack of production made the fact they were out playing the opposition almost useless because it rarely resulted on the scoreboard.

I don't think it's actually an overstatement to suggest 80% of the lack of finish last year was our PP not cashing in. Special teams are key in the NHL now, and the Flames inability to take advantage of the man advantages they created with their play was certainly their down fall.
Score more on the PP, and this team makes the playoffs likely. I also think the issue on the PP looked like poor strategy to me, which makes me hopeful for the coaching change.
