The embarrassing ass-kicking at the hands of the Avs is what completely broke this team IMO, and they've never been able to recover. What's sad is that the Flames were really good that year and should have gone much further. Instead they crumpled at the first sign of adversity in the post season and seemed to throw in the towel. And unfortunately they've had that losing mentality ever since. It's like they have no confidence in themselves whatsoever, especially when they go up against elite playoff-caliber teams.
If this franchise is gonna go anywhere moving forward, I think they desperately need a full reboot with a new GM, a proven experienced coach, and a major shake-up of the current roster.
