To reach the promise land you can't have such a simplistic way of looking at things. Did the Flames take a step this year? Ya sure, but they still look very far from the ultimate goal and were defeated in the same fashion they have in the last what 4 playoff appearances? Losing streaks when things got difficult against good teams.

This is the horrible take IMO
I am the biggest Markstrom fan out there but get real...he was voted a top two goalie in the NHL this season and should have been a major advantage. He was a major weakness. With good goaltending the Flames would have won all but game three.
Who wins a series with .850 tending?
