I am 100% all in on a big name, proven track record, expensive head coach. It would be a great step.

But back to the players skating on the ice.

Flames vs Ducks in 2017 - 2 even strength goals in 4 games
Flames vs Avs - 5 ES goals in 5 games
Flames vs Stars - 7 ES goals through 5 games

Different coaches. Different goalies. Different supporting cast.

14 even strength goals in 14 playoff games with many coming against a leaky backup goalie for the Stars.

Maybe it was too easy to focus on Elliott's gaffes against Anaheim and the disdain for the coach to see the problem then. Same problem against the Avs and the team inexplicably stands pat over the summer. But this summer it all gets fixed?

Regardless this is still a series. You win game 6 by hook or by crook and then you have one shot at eliminating your competitor. It can certainly happen. I still have hope.
