It's not even an issue with their compete level.
This team's top forwards aren't showing the ability to fight through tough playoff type tight checking, physical hockey.
Their frustration is showing, resulting in puck decisions we haven't seen all year, which are causing odd man rushes against.
If the sharks win tonight and Saturday, and the flames lose to the knights on sund6, i don't see the mental fortitude in this group to chase down the division from the sharks.
Ugh... Such a fun season only to see them showing a trajectory of whimpering into the playoffs.
