We outplayed Anaheim for the vast majority of that series but found ways to lose, now we've been playing poorly and Mike Smith has given us a chance to win and we're still finding ways to lose.

If learning how to win in the playoffs through playoff failure was a thing then the Flames should be on their way to about 6 consecutive Stanley Cup Final.
I think losing in the playoffs is more indicative of a team that just doesn't have a second gear, doesn't have the pieces with the right mindset/knows what playoff sacrifice is, and a
deeply embedded culture of mediocrity where losing is acceptable which I feel is the biggest red flag about this organization.
