Somewhere along the way, and I think gradually over time, this team believed in their skill and slowly the pace moved downwards to the point where they are too easy to pressure.

I can’t think of a top team that is cerebral and effective without pace
There is talent for sure. We've all seen it. All I meant was that there could be more, not that the Flames are bereft of it altogether.

As an example, it would likely be safe to say that every team in Canada except Ottawa has better/more game-breakers than Calgary.

A major reason why I believe in re-signing Gaudreau.
