I think the key here is you need a team built with players of multiple different skillsets. An entire team of playmakers or snipers is a losing team; you need power forwards, shut down d-men, agitators, grinders, playmakers, snipers all on one team to win. Edmonton has a bunch of playmakers/snipers and nothing else, just like us. We have no Lucic on our team, we have no Byfuglien, the opposing teams wake up and are happy that it's the Flames and not Boston they are playing against. Our biggest agitator is Jackman that has been useless this season and our power forward is relegated to weak boardplay and shots from the perimeter.
