Add in some suspect goaltending from Markstrom, and some elite performances from their top 4 forwards and that's a series.
This honestly shocked the hell out of me. I just didn't see this series unfolding like this. I thought it would be more of a battle, but the Flames just continued to fold when things got tough. That bothers me more than anything.
Some soul searching to do for many of the players on this team in the off season.

Gasp! How dare you suggest Sutter got outcoached in the series.

I usually eyeroll at "trade x for a bag of pucks" posts byt I would seriously doubt the Flames are any worse replacing Hanifin with a kid like Jeremie Poirier freah out of the Q

Prior to the deadline, I suggested trading Hanifin+Monahan+Lucic to Seattle for Gio+Jarnkrok+Fleury. I was widely laughed at.
As for tonight's result, not much to say beyond what's been already said in this thread. BS call from the league, but it shouldn't have come down to that. Flames didn't play nearly well enough to be competitive in this series, let alone win it.
