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.

The Flames may unfortunately have a culture of mediocrity, but is it really one where losing is acceptable? Has any team been more active in trades than Treliving since he took over?
I don't think it's a culture that accepts losing it all. The players are playing timid in these games. The fans feel it at the Dome. It's as if we're just anticipating the wheels to fall of at any moment.
And they always do.
