The good news in the Game 7 loss to the Sharks was the Flames showed enough character to take the series against a favoured team to the limit, especially when they trailed after five games.
The bad news is they were thrashed when it mattered most.
What happened to the Flames? What were they missing in their lineup to put them over the edge and wins a playoff series? Have your say in our forum.
Well I always go into the playoffs hoping, not hockey savy but a flames fan... go flames go

I don't think you can count us out yet, if we steal one 1 in San Jose then we'll be in good shape and 'the Dome' is a tough place to play in the playoffs. I think these teams match up fairly well if you put aside the Flames Jeckell and Hyde type inconsistancies

Its a new season and you would be foolish to count the flames out. Opening on the road against the favorates is always a good place to start.

The only consolation the Flames will have is they are to be the first victims of the new champions. San Jose is going to take it all this year, and Calgary will be doing well to get more than one win against them.

Good Luck Flames, but not this year San Jose, Detroit have way too much depth, at least your not Ottawa!!!
