I agree. When the Flames are scoring and winning because of the D's joining the rush, people are all for it and very happy even suggesting Hartley is a genius and awesome play by the D. When it doesn't work especially it turned out to be the winning goal for the other team, we are all over the D questioning why. I wouldn't blame anyone on that play. Gaudreau blew his tire and fell, Flames got caught and Chicago scored because of it. That's it we lost to a good team simple as that. Flames are in a 5-games losing streak(1 from home and 4 from road games). All the things that are working for them early in the season doesn't seem to be working lately.
