And adversity? Last year they went out to a quick 2-0 lead over Vegas and then crumbled pretty easily IMO.
And yes, Tkachuk’s injury was self inflicted, which was the only thing I said about him.

Gio, listen, i'm not trying to squabble with you. Based on what I know from my experience on this forum, you are a loyal and knowledgable flames fan. I probably come across as a very negative and critical, which at the end of the day is ok to me, we are both on here sharing our opinion about the team we support. Technically your original rebuttal against a poster saying the Avs went far in the playoffs is probably correct, the 2nd round isn't far. This team and core maybe figures it out and proves me wrong, but you cant honestly look at both teams playoff struggles and the games and say its the same thing, unfortunately the criticism about the Flames after elimination is around the core and their inability, for the Avs, its very different in my opinion.
