Same coach, mostly the same defense, mostly the same forwards and the goalie goes from 0.920 save percentage to 0.890 save percentage.
Hard to plan for a drop off like that, and I don't think anybody here felt Vladar was a weak back up either.
Flames then go on to lead the league in OT/SO losses, one goal losses and set an all time NHL record for one goal losses while outshooting the opponent by 10 or more shots.
Eliminated from making the playoffs on game 81.
Anyone blaming Treliving has me befuddled.
