But if this Markstrom tonight was around for most of the season, Flames would most likely be comfortably leading the division right now.
It's just been a season of things not working out well.
And let me add that does not mean I think you role with the same team next season. I think this should be an offseason of retooling. Keep players that are planned to be around for a while. Off load the others to attain future assets. This organization needs to get a lot more serious in building from within. It has started already since some prospects are on the cusp of graduating, but even more emphasis can be applied to brew the next batch, and have it be continuous.
