I think that when teams start finding that other gear as they prepare for the postseason the Flames will not be able to match the change in tempo as they struggle to keep up right now. Sutter said it himself, the game is about speed and pace. The Flames have neither and the games are only going to be getting quicker. The roster is too slow IMO and will continue to flag as the tempo increases.

4-5th in the West since December 1st and points in 17 of those 23 games.
They're seeing results.
I just don't see the ceiling being all that much higher.
