They're so bad because they don't have depth, they traded Eberle and Hall for next to nothing, haven't drafted or traded for defensemen very well, and their star goalie burned out 2 years ago. The success of the Flames this year shows what having stable goaltending will do, the players are having fun and their production reflects that. We wouldn't have 5 or 6 guys on pace for career years if we had sub-par goaltending and the players were miserable due to losing most games. I think a lot of people underestimate the mental aspects of hockey, especially in the era of advanced statistics because it's tough to quantify.
