There just seems to be so much parity in this league. A lot of it artificial. But should Tampa trade Stamkos or Kucherov? Probably not, and we know they have at least had some post-season success in prior years.
But man, games like this just make me not want be a hockey fan. I'm not asking for the top seeds to get freebies on the first round. I'm not asking for no more upsets.
But why shouldn't I just cheer on a dice?

I do think that for the last half of the season exposed that the team is not perfect, and still need some adjustments. The top players have been ineffective for over half the season, so I don't think it's unreasonable to look at adjust it, and trading some pillar pieces. The team still finished 2nd in the NHL with their top guns being absolute no shows. Flames can still compete in the future even if a player such as Monahan isn't around anymore.
