What the Flames need to do to adjust in the second period is to play like the Calgary Flames used to play years ago. Rather than jumping out to the far blueline, they need to go up as a five man unit. The problem is that most of the Flames defence are slower than average skater's, so the Flames need to establish themselves in the offense of zone for them to be able to change. If they can't change then there are stuck out there for a very long time and that's where mistakes happen and pucks go in the Flames net.

The forwards need to hang back, sort of like how the St. Louis Blues trapped the Flames in the third period. they need to be a counterpuncher type team instead of a run and gun team in the second period.
