WCQF Game 4: Ducks 3 - Flames 1; Anaheim wins series in sweep
And that was (hopefully) death to the flag jerseys.

This was a very interesting season, with a lot of highs and lows; however, the Flames should be (as a whole) very proud of what they accomplished.
Think of it this way. These are some notable Flames who regressed from last year: Johnny Gaudreau (78 points to 61); Sean Monahan (63 points to 58); Mark Giordano (53 points to 39); TJ Brodie (45 points to 36); Troy Brouwer (39 points to 25); Sam Bennett (36 points to 26); Brian Elliott (.930 to .910); Chad Johnson (.920 to .910).
Despite this, the Flames improved 17 points and finished as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
This was largely on the back of a number of terrific additions by Treliving. Kris Versteeg, Michael Stone, Alex Chiasson, and (at various times) both goaltenders were all driving factors in the this season's success. The team went from having washed-up vets like David Jones, Dennis Wideman, and Mason Raymond as the leadership corps to much more effective guys.
For that, I will be forever proud of this team. They lost four one-goal games to a team who they match up horribly with. They overachieved in the regular season, with much of their young core underperforming.
That's not nothing.

Well if any young Flames fans ever wanted to know what 90's Flames playoffs was like, this playoff series is a very good primer.

I was wrong to want the Ducks because of Carlyle vs Quenneville. Even Randy ****ing Carlyle coached circles around Laissez-Faire Glen.

No composure. Not 5 brain cells to rub together in the last ten minutes.
