I agree with dino7c that the biggest problem with the Flames was goal scoring. No matter how much you want to blame goaltending for Flames not having enough wins, and somehow saying it's also why Flames couldn't score more goals (that's a new one to me), the fact of the matter is the Flames are the 7th worst team in the league for goals for per game average at 2.63, while they we're 16th for goals against per game average at 2.85.
In a league where you typically need to score at least 3 goals per game to win, the Flames were unable to do that. And I said the trend of the league with goal scoring increasing, the offense needs to carry goalies more than before. Games where your goalie only lets in 2 goals should be considered great games by them.
