That may hold water for a few games. But in mid Feb, they lost to Vancouver, Edmonton back to back, split with Toronto and got pounded by Ottawa.
At that point, did they still think it was going to be easy? Then they came out on the wrong end of a 5 of 6 series against Ottawa. All this had happened by mid March
They then had 2 more months of hockey to play. Were they shell shocked? Did they still think it was going to be easy over those next 2 months?
Holy crap, how dumb would they have to be?

I wonder if this has more to do with fitness, and the way they were practicing. Flames tend to fold easily which may be a conditioning issue? We also seem to be seeing different players on different seasons who appear to be a step behind.
