This is true, and pretty much the same logic because poor overtime performance cost them the playoffs. I think what it comes down to is Calgary was a 5 man unit x 4 line effort every game, and 3 on 3 is a lot more about speed, flash, talent, faceoffs. Things the Flames just aren't deep in right now. It's the flip side of that year or two where Johnny / Monny / Brodie could just dominate 3 on 3.
