And if you want to make every excuse for the Flames and give no credit to the Oilers, then sure. But that still doesn't change the fact that the Stars were a shot away from eliminating the Flames in the first round. That is a very average team.
Going for it at the deadline of course made sense. But the holes in this team have been apparent for years, and last season didn't change that. And it doesn't change the outlook moving forward.

Jesus. Why didn't someone obliterate the cripple. He could only coast around out there.
That's ####ing embarrassing.
Markstrom needs to answer the bell vs EDM next season.
