Flames seem to be quite comfortable playing 5 on 5 one goal games, you know, the stuff that actually happens in the playoffs.

People put way too much stock in what happens in overtime/shootout. It's a tiebreaking scenario that really isn't real hockey. It obviously sucks to lose this many but it's not indicative of some bigger problem that people are determined to make a thing.
Well if you are winning 19 of 41 games you can feel great playing 5v5 but you will have a hard time playing that in the playoffs because you won't qualify. Especially when you can't beat garbage teams.
