The thing is that it is not a product of the system. The Flames don't give up too many goals due to offensive pressure leading to odd man rushes. The problems are all play in their D zone. Poor coverage and stupid mistakes.
The thought was that if they open it up more, maybe they score enough not to be exposed by the dumb mistakes. But you can't outscore this level of defensive ineptitude.
