When I look back on the Flames last year, I feel like I was gaslighted. By the end of the year, I had a count of around a dozen games where I thought the Flames were noticeably better than the opposition, but didn't win.
The Colorado game from this year was a great example of this. The Flames dominated the 2nd and 3rd, and very easily could have lost that game. Losing that game would have fit right in with the 2017-2018 season.
I still had my issues with the coaching, powerplay, Brouwer, Stajan, etc... last year but I think they deserved more than 84 points.
