That's a pretty good account of where they're at as I see it too. They are shell shocked and not responding with a clear purpose and strategy or the guts to push through. Peters had great success in the regular season with his approach, but the Flames could really do with a Hartley or a Torts in the room right now to snap them out of it and get them going. Can we have one coach for the regular season and one for the playoffs?
