Gaps between Flames defensemen and forwards on the breakout are consistently enormous, leading to little speed in the neutral zone. Hartley seems to want to stretch teams out, but I'm tired of long bomb passes skipping off sticks or getting intercepted.

And the Flames have once again plummeted to the bottom of the league in faceoff%. The injuries to Backlund and Staja aren't helping, but even they are just at 50% to lead the team. This has been a glaring problem for years, and it's inexcusable that the team hasn't tried to address it.
