Plays that individuals make which are very bad individual costly decisions. Surely you can see that. And this decision making is something I believe Hartley can respond to more effectively than the last guy. I think he can add O to the mix and not at the expense of D

I have seen a ton of guys wide open in the Flames zone, guys easily walking around the defensemen, tons of easy opportunities for the late guy hanging back and not getting picked up as well.
The Flames have had some bad goaltending but also some luck with not having more goals scored against them with the chances and opportunities they have left wide open.
