The rest are just way too soft. Lack of desire on most guys part. How come the first 4 or 5 games this year they played such an entertaining style and now have reverted? They looked like the 1970's Habs out there the first few games and now they look like the same old boring Flames.

Because they have no faith in the goaltending. It's hard to play run-and-gun hockey when your goalies are guaranteed to let in goals on more than half the scoring chances the other team gets.
The problem is, it's also difficult to play defensively when you have a soft, small team.
