Either this team is constructed well or it isn't. I don't think a team limping into the playoffs is constructed well.

Different kind of 'just get in and anything can happen'
During that time, the Flames just weren't good enough - 8th was the bes they could hope for, then a 1st round exit was the likely outcome
This team is more like the LA teams, with lots of depth, deep defense, plenty of grit, and good goaltending (at least expected to be). It is a team that, if firing on all cylinders, would cause any team fits.
It is very much a team that can make a deep playoff run
