[PGT] Anemic offense, Flames lose 2-1

[Inferno]

Even though it felt like a playoff series I never considered the series against the Jets the playoffs. Had they lost they would have been a non-playoff team to me.

Making round 2 - winning round 1 in a best of 7 requires a team to be good to make it that far.

When it’s been 30 years and you’ve done it twice, you take whatever morsel you can get haha.

I did distinguish it with the past first round tally after. And yes that’s what really matters.

If the Qualifiers weren’t playoffs for the Oilers, they weren’t for us either. Sorry.

Barring some actual effort and execution on the part of our top players, were looking at another 1st round exit.

It's very flames fan to count a play-in against a non-playoff team as a round won because otherwise there is only a single other playoff round win in 15 years.

For many Flames fans it counts for sure.

For the rest of the league? laugh

Brad Treliving for sure views the play-in against the jets as winning a round, because without it...yeesh.

Who had their zone starts cut to compensate for that? Lucic/Bennett?

Coach Ward went back to the reliable well and called on the Backlund line with the defensive zone faceoffs.

Yup. A non playoff team that was missing a number of its key players, to boot.
