This is something that was engrained into their practices before though. Wideman doesn't do it because he's new, but he's prone to criticism for bad decisions. Bouwmeester is much better.
The flames look like they can actually pass the puck and know where it's going. That's refreshing compared to the past 2.5 seasons.
