Besides, it isn't like training kids to be defensively responsible is a bad thing.

Hey I think that the way that Ward plays is the way the Flames should play if they want to have the most success, it just seems odd that the organization has made this shift and the minor league team plays a different style. Not sure any other team has two distinct playing styles within their organization, one for the farm team and one for the NHL team. I juts have a hard time believing that Grand Rapids plays dump and chase while their parent club plays a puck possession game.
