I am also tired of the narrative that this team lacks talent, they don't have that big name superstar but they have plenty of guys that can generate offence. They don't generate that offence though because the system does not allow for it. Statistically they can't score, they give up lots of high danger chances, and they struggle in special teams. They are abysmal 3 on 3 and the shootout and there is some serious questions about what players are being deployed in those situations.

There is not a single word in post #144 that backs up the claim that they are underperforming. It simply lists a bunch of stats that suggest they aren't that good. Pretty much everyone, except you and a handful of others, agree that they are not very good.
I do agree with you that the Flames have depth. They lack offensive punch, and that shows up in the lack of goals for, but their depth allows them to play a solid two-way game. And that manifests itself in their goals against, which is pretty decent. They are hard to play against - something pretty much every coach in the league agrees with.
They play the way they need to play, in order to be competitive.
