It was the fragility of the Flames who weren't really elite. The Flames lost Games 2 and 4 in overtime. It's not like the Avs ran them over. If they were really an elite team (like Tampa getting swept by Columbus) they would have bounced back. But it turns out that was a one-off season.
And as SuperMatt said, they overreacted but I just didn't understand get the moves. For example, watching Hathaway last night, isn't he exactly the type of player Calgary needs?
