No way to fix any of those issues. Just a generational talent and some piss poor luck.

It’s what happens in a 7 game series. I think our personnel were exploited where in an 82 game season it doesn’t happen the same.
Anytime the flames play teams that play with pace it was a problem, and a quick in series adjustment by the oilers had the team reeling and playing out of structure.
Getting quicker and steadier on the back end would be a priority from my vantage point this off-season. I think the forwards can score enough and win with Sutter’s structure, and more depth is on the way from Stockton to make our bottom 6 a bit more potent.
I think this team is formidable with a bit more pace in their bottom 6 and D that are less error prone and more mobility.
