That was easy. I was thinking this way a bit in mid-series when I was caught up in it, but with the number of huge upsets in these playoffs I've written it off as just a strange year, and wishing this strange year didn't have to happen when the Flames are just about the best they've ever been. I mean Tampa looked like a massive turd but I don't see them making too big an overhaul unless it's for cap reasons. Things change too much from year to year to write the core off in 5 games.
