What I've learned? It's all about luck and pure will/drive to win. The Blues and Bruins had these qualities.
Where are the Flames if they scored one of the OT goals against Colorado? What if we scored both? We had a great opportunity to close it out in both OT games but didn't. If we're up 3-2 in the series I think we would have won. We were just simply outcoached.
What the Flames need is more playoff experience. That would require us to get past the round 1 hump and then some. Hopefully next year we can get to round 2 or even round 3. The cup is always the goal but for me I at least want these guys getting 12-18 games more of playoff experience. It would go a long way.
