If you doubt me, look at how the Flames struggle to find 3 shooters with good moves for the shootouts. Nobody on the team is really creative. Iginla is good at blasting the puck, that's not the same thing, and he struggles in the shootouts.

The Flames were 9th in scoring last year, and tied for 6th in 2005-06. This year's strategy, partly moulded by the known lack of top six scoring, is hardly representative of the Flames offensive performances post lockout.
