Not at all. Like I said a page or two earlier, the storyline is different.
Last year, the Flames were the big favorites and simply didn't show up to play or put in any effort.
This year, the Flames are the underdogs and are visibly showing more effort, but they're still getting absolutely obliterated 5v5 and are completely relying on Talbot to steal them games.
Either way, the conclusions are still the same in the end: back-to-back years of pathetic play 5v5 and relying on their goalie.
Without incredible special teams so far, the Flames would stand zero chance.
