I’m not sure it was fatigue either. I think a really big factor was losing Chris Tanev for a few games there, he played all the regular season so the team wasn’t really aware of how big a void that would leave and it changed the dynamics of the whole team.
It’s probably why they couldn’t keep leads.
Mikel Backlund was pretty good and Andrew Mangiapane scored a couple big goals but after the top line the depth needs to be better. Look at Zack Hyman and how dangerous he was the last couple games every time he had the puck, our depth players have to be better and that’s what the Flames should improve on in the off season.
