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.

Yup and depth is great, but if the other team's best players are better than your best players - that's going to be a lot of tough nights.
Go back the last 10 games, and ask how many games did the Flames have the best forward or best dman in the lineup. The answer is almost never. Often the other teams have 3-5 players better than the Flames best player (ignoring the goalie)
