Johnny let it slip a bit on the chiclets podcast and I think it has to do with their final 3 games against the Oilers in the regular season and game 1 in the playoffs.
Flames best Edmonton 3-1 at home where the Oilers generated nothing and got a lucky bounce goal. They then went on to score 9 goals in the next 2 games against them. Johnny basically said after game 1 they thought it would be easy.
They got into a style of game where they decided to trade chances and couldn’t get out of it. Markstrom struggled but the team lost their identity. Even then they had a 2 goal lead in game 2 and 5 and lost and also came back from 3-0 to tie game 4 and lost. The series should have been longer or even a flames win.
Hearing Johnny say that on the chiclets podcast makes it easier to see him move on.
