This team plays so much more up tempo with out Tanguay and even Iginla. Don't get me wrong, clearly those two are legitimately (or were) among our best offensive guys, but I can't stand what their style (especially Tangs) does to this teams style. I get it, just one game, but they were skating so fast last night against the Oil. Up tempo, north south, that is what this team needs, cause frankly we don't have the skill to play the east west long pass game Tangs likes. That just bottles us up and slows down our attack. So much more effective as a whole without his complicated play on the ice.
