So, please explain then to me how you would distinguish an "excuse" from a "reason"? I explicitly said the turnover is NOT an excuse because the team cannot nor should they depend on this to excuse their poor performances. But this stuff happens—it's something the Flames have to deal with, and I think the erratic differences in the quality of their play we have seen this season suggests that it's something they are possibly dealing with. Are we now simply expected to ignore the innumerable factors which will effect how a team performs from one game to the next, or from one part of the season to the next?
