You win and lose on the backs of your best players.
The Flames best players were awful.
That's not coaching, in my view.

Fair to disagree, but you have to answer me then...
When the Flames became a more talented team post 2006, why did they worsen by every conceivable performance metric there-after? Explain to me the Islanders and their best players a little, and how they're better than Crosby. And finally, what made a post-prime Ovechkin who in recent years had even been demoted to the 3rd line in a playoff series suddenly good enough to lead a team to the Stanley Cup?
