Flames Offense during the Preseason
The preseason started with the Flames scoring 2 or less goals in 6 of the 7 preseason games. In fact during those 6 games the Flames scored 7 goals(1 of which was an empty netter). There were many contributing factors including great performances by goaltenders(Lack and Berra come to mind), skeleton lineups including mostly kids, and simply the fact that it takes players more than a few games to develop chemistry.
First of all I wanted to know what you think is the main reason for the low scoring so far? I listed a few reasons, but I was wondering if someone with a better eye than mine noticed some interesting tidbits?
Also,I just wanted to know how do you guys envision the Flames offense during this season. For example will the majority of the offense come from the Power Play, individual efforts, or perhaps odd man rushes?
Will the Flames play a lot of low scoring games?
Even though scoring by committee sounds nice, who do you think will be the go to guys to generate offense?
Well I hope this thread will generate some new discussion, while we are all still counting the days to the beginning of the season.
PS: I am not criticising the Flames offense, nor am I predicting the lack of it... I am just curious what do you think of it so far!
