I'm not sure earning 1 less point would be considered a weak second half.
Games 1-51 = Pre All Star Game
33-13-5 = .696 points percentage = 114 point pace
Games 52-82 = Post All Star Game
17-12-2 = .613 points percentage = 101 point pace
The Flames after the all star game were slightly below their pace before it. However, 101 points would have still been enough points to be the Western Conference's #1 seed in the playoffs. It would have been the best season Calgary had since 2005-06.

Thanks.
Maybe not team as a whole but certain players absolutely had weaker finishes than their starts. Still does nothing to change my mind. Confidence is shot.
