They lost in 5, end of story. The excuses/what ifs don't matter at the end of the day.

they didn't get "absolutely spanked" though...its not an excuse its what happened.
Not many teams are gonna win a series with .850 goaltending, can't assume that is what the Flames will have in the future
Also, they scored a goal in game 5 that was allowed all year, at the very least its a bad break
3 of the 10 NHL all stars plus Lindholm 2nd in Selke voting...they have the talent
there are other factors. The way the team is playing a given week, injuries, GOAL TENDING, bounces
By this logic the Florida Panthers should rebuild, they scored 3 goals in an entire series! they obviously can't compete
All this being said I do agree, lose Gaudreau and you need multiple good players to replace...keep Gaudreau and you still want to find a way to improve as always
