Hanafin and Anderson were the top pairing for the regular season and were pretty poor in this series. There are so many players that just didn't play well and you have to look at the coach here as I recall Peters getting heat for getting out coached against the Avalanche because he couldn't make any adjustments. Well Sutter really couldn't make any adjustments in this series either. From game one through game five the Flames continued to play a style of hockey that was a total deviation from their play in the regular season and there was no way they were going to win the series the way they played.
