Calgary doesn't enter the zone as a three-man unit, they typically have two guys standing at the line, waiting for the puck carrier to either cross the blue line, or pass it to one of them so they can enter.
Entering the zone as a unit with speed is the primary cog in any offensive scheme, and I know Hartley is preaching it during practice, so why are these players so incapable of doing it consistently?
It makes the life of an opposing defenceman far too easy.
