Stinker against Minnesota is the aberration.
Execution is an issue, effort just hasn't been.

Yeah if anything I think that's the problem at this point.
You rarely see a team play 64 games with such little reward for their effort. The effort has been there but every brain fart or breakdown has ended up in the back of their net, and they haven't been rewarded with much luck on the finishing end either.
This is the worst PDO season in Flames history (Shooting % + Save %), think that was mentioned on twitter yesterday.
Maybe it's lack of skill, maybe it's bad luck. But man that does have to be discouraging for a team either way. Top 10 in both xGF/60 and xGA/60 at 5v5, 3rd in xGF%, but 32nd in PDO has them performing way worse than the "effort" would suggest.
