The combination of the Dmen rimming the puck as soon as they touch the puck and the wingers on or outside the blueline are killing the Flames.

They have been doing this since game one and it has not changed so I say it is on the coaches.

This style of play is why the Flames are ordinary.

How many times tonight did the Ducks rim the puck 2 maybe 3. The had most of the breakouts start with the D and a pass to the centerman then out easily.

I was always taught that if you have the puck the opposition will not score. All the exceptional teams have the puck more than their opponents.

Other teams must feel like they are picking cherries in the Flames end.

With Dmen that can carry the puck and be creative this play sucks the life right out of them.

It's not peewee hockey anymore.
