Come on…possibly the biggest edge we had in this series was size and physicality and we did absolutely nothing to exploit it.

Look these years top players and their points. Look how we played against oilers top guys. They are allowed to play their game. Try to play hard against them you got penalty.
How many goals they scored from rebound standing in front of the net. If it was real playoff game like before they should be hit, pushed or cross checked from there. But now they try to box out, and wrestle.
Anyway flames were not good enough to adjust and control the play to win. If NHL will keep these standards better announce it that teams know how to build team for the cup.
