The Flames ARE a top team. And just like any good team, they're gonna lose a few here and there, especially against an insanely stacked team like Tampa, who are quite simply on another level than just about every other team in the league. Might as well just hand them the Cup right now, because honestly, I don't think anybody is gonna beat them. That team is a machine.
Don't forget, the Flames pushed the Lighting to a shootout during their last meeting, and looked pretty damn good doing it. The Flames didn't get here by accident. They're for real. They just need to clean up their defensive game a little bit and get the top line going again. I agree with others here that those two long breaks screwed up their mojo. But I'm fully confident they'll get it back.
