I believe the Flames overachieved in 2015 so yeah I do think Carolina has played better than they actually are since January. That can happen when you're more desperate than other teams. That doesn't mean I think they're a horrible team.
Do I think they would have beat this year's playoff version of the Flames? Of course. But I think every team in the playoffs would have a had a good chance and even some that didn't make it. The Flames took a huge dump when it mattered. That doesn't mean that really they aren't better than the 15 other teams. They had a bad week at the worst time just like Tampa.
