And he's right.

The Flames are a good team that are playing more than well enough (dominating in many cases) to win most nights but they somehow don't know how to win.
They don't know how to win because unlike the Lightning, they don't have a powerplay of

Killorn
Stamkos - Point - Kucherov
Hedman

Like there probably isn't a single one of those five positions on the powerplay they are as good. Not even the Killorn role.

nor do they have an elite goalie in his actual athletic prime (21-28). Markstrom was post-apex when we signed him three years ago, and probably spent his actual prime playing for the Utica Comets, just as Dustin Wolf is spending his prime playing for the Wranglers
