Players look totaly lost as to what they should be doing. I don't know if it's because of a new systen the coaching staff is trying to install, but they have zero confidence right now and that scares me.

The stretch pass is certainly debateable at this point, especially after seeing Russell ice the puck on a PP with four guys standing still on the blueline. I dont believe for a second that teams have figured the flames out and that is why this horrible streak is happening though. They have been playing good enough to win games for the most part lately. They had lots of quality scoring chances through the last couple of games, outshooting and outchancing their opponents. It's actually been enjoyable to watch for big chunks of the games. The confidence part I agree with, as that may be the reason to why they keep looking for perfect passes way too often instead of just shooting the damn puck at the net.
