You tweak that, not blow it up. Get a clue.

The Flames weren't supposed to mak3 the playoffs...because they haven't been good enough for a few years but after 1 year we're ready to call then legit? Was this year the way the team really is and every other year was wrong or was this year just magic beans?
Best players all had career years...and still couldn't beat a division rival. Isn't that just saying our best players aren't as good as their best players? So they need to hope they can either improve or at least play this well from now on AND hope other teams regress at the same time? The Flames did their best, it's something to be proud of. The problem is that their best wasn't good enough, should they just stay as is or try to change things?
Coach established a winning culture, again, he got the most he could out of most every player...and they lost. The players can be proud that they did their best, the coach can be proud because he got the best from his players. Management can even be proud that the team they assembled was a top 8 team....but unless they're happy with just being a top 8 team, they need to make changes.
If you have a Cadillac and you put the fastest engine that will fit in it and make all the best modifications you can to that car amd it still isn't winning races, do you just enjoy the ride knowing you can't get any faster but you tried your best and you like the car. Or do you get a different car and start over?
