Reading the first responses to the OP and one guy said it right, just simplify the game. The extra passes and the nonsense and endless cycling in the corner of the Canucks' zone that gets to no scoring chances is only doing one awful thing: just wasting time. The toe drags are dumb, Johnny you have what it takes but let's try not to make it look so smooth and make it look more rough by still getting by the one guy that would give you the scoring opportunity or that backdoor pass that we all want for the open shot. Flames hockey that has gotten us successful to this point is the hard drives to the net and making them count. I just hate this obligation that the Flames get unintentionally into that makes them feel they already accomplished enough getting into their zone and now just trying to make something happen like they were on a powerplay when they're actually playing 5 on 5 hockey.
Guys, let's rock the Dome, I'm flying in tomorrow from Arizona to be there on Saturday. I love all of you.
