Well no, my comments were far more nuanced than that, and judging by the rest of your post, I'd say you misinterpreted a number of things I said.
A summary would be more along the lines of
1) Sutter badly mismanaged the workloads of his players, leading them to run out of gas in the playoffs. He also needs to provide them with different ways of playing, instead of just sticking with one style of play every night.
2) The Flames lost due to a
combination of reasons; one of those reasons being their top line not showing up for the final almost 11 periods.
3) If Johnny doesn't re-sign, the next 2-3 years will be rough. Long term, though, I believe the future looks bright. If Johnny DOES re-sign, this team can do some serious damage in the coming years.
For those of you saying the team wasn't tired... I have no idea which series you were watching. The players were tired. It comes down to whether or not you choose to believe your eyes.
