But there isn't a discrepancy in finishing or goaltending that can be attributed to what division the opposition plays in.

The Flames are the Flames but they're not playing an inferior Flames' game against their own division.
I think there is finishing and then there is finishing in big or close games or when the intensity is ramped up. It's the latter that concerns me frankly and not just finishing but all around play. There is only so much a coach can do to impact that.
