At least it's clear this playoffs - we've been exposed. Much like Tampa Bay.
Playoffs are a different game. You need a team that will not only get you in to the tournament, but then one that can also blast up the intensity.
The Flames have shown that they are well above the pack for the long drawn out grind of the 82 game schedule, but lack the desire and drive to take it to the next level in short bursts when it matters against tough opposition. What's the answer?
I'm confident BT will do what he can but it'll be this time next year until we know if we're better off.
