I think most hit the nail on the head so far. Johnny isn't the problem - other guys are. Monahan is slower than the competition, and Neal is a step behind as well. This series reminds me a lot like the Anaheim one where in Anaheim the Flames looked a bit short and slow. In this case, they're just slower than the competition. Defence wise, I think they've been just okay - Brodie's been bad, and Andersson seems a little slow to react at times. They can still turn it around, but with some natural progression of younger guys maturing next season, the team should be alright if they can go all in with a faster roster somehow. I'm thinking Monahan, Neal, and Brodie gone. Who'd have thought he goaltending would be this amazing just two weeks ago?
