That line can’t be more true in my opinion, you need to loose a few to win. This is a very young core and fingers have been pointed at Johnny, Money, and so on, but as far as I’m concerned this is a team game and no one other than Bennett and Smith were playing well.
The Flames aren't even in the playoffs long enough to learn about the disappointment of going through a war and falling short. There are not a lot of lessons to be learned from getting destroyed in the first round other than you aren't good enough for playoff hockey and need to fix that.
