At the end of the day, the players have to execute.


Does anyone believe that Bill Peter's game plan involved giving away the puck constantly in their end, stopping moving their legs, not driving the net, passing all the way across the ice with soft backhand passes.


I believe that Peters is going to take some blame and he should, he'd tell us all that.


But this was an epic failure by the Flames players with the exception of a few. This loss exposed maybe some leadership issues, inexperience issues and in some cases possible character issues.


Its not a simple matter of fixing it, or making trades until its understood what these issues are, and why the Flames to a man played the way they did.


The good news is that the Flames have a really young core, which means that they can still learn from this.


Bill Peter's first playoff foray didn't go the way he wanted it go and for sure he'll learn from it.


I would expect that the wrap up interviews will be interesting. If we hear about the players blaming the coach for being a task master again or a bad coach again then we have a leadership problem.


I expect that this dressing room that was so tight during the regular season lost its cohesion by game 3.



Just my two cents.
