In order for LA and Anaheim to play the strong forecheck that they do it may not seem fast but the system or forecheck breaks down very quickly if you don't have the speed to do it. I agree with you the Flames are not going to be able to immediately match size/skill. Which is why I also said we are a few years away from developing the depth we need, but nice of you to cherry pick out at center ice EE tapping your stick.
