Lool at the Aves D. Big Z, Cole, Nemeth.... They owned our top guys. Didn't give them any space. JG and Monahan didn't forget how to skate or pass, just had no room out there. You say we were for checked to quickly? Then shoot it in and win the board battle. But here is the problem, we can't win board battles with our roster.
We have a flawed roster that cannot adjust. Great at river hockey, but can't play teams with heavy game.
Any wonder why we didn't want to face Dallas? It's because they don't give you middle ice. They make you grind it out and we just don't have the team for it.
At least that's my opinion. Speed is great too, but playoffs are mostly about winning board battles and getting to dirty areas, not breakaways and end to end rushes.

Sounds like you’re yearning for the days of the post lockout Flames when we had the likes of Regehr, Sarich, Warrener, Aucoin, Phaneuf, Vandermeer, Hale.
We had a big tough intimidating team back in the day too that was supposedly built for the playoffs, but all they did was lose in the first round and disappoint.
