Honestly don’t know what to think at this point. Going into the playoffs I wanted to believe that we had figured it out and that this year would be different. I mean the team checks a lot of boxes on paper. All star coach, triple threat top line, crushing back end and elite goaltender. Yet here we are.
Is Calgary done at this point? No, but there isn’t a lot that inspires confidence right now. Being a fan of this team is really tough. I guess I was hoping that Sutter would be our secret weapon and the demons of past years had been corrected after a brilliant regular season.
This one hurts as nothing seems to be working. Having a tough time scoring 5 on 5, ineffective power play, invisible middle 6 and the inability to shut down an average Stars team.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that you never get too high because it’s always in the back of your mind that this is the Calgary Flames. Another poster had a breakdown of the teams success over the last 30 years and it’s downright embarrassing. Trying hard to believe but games like this are a stiff reminder of who we are unfortunately.
