Part of the Flames success in OT is that Hartley has out coached the other teams in the 3 on 3 by a wide margin.
Gio, Brodie, and Monahan to start, to waste the other teams best players' shift. When possession is gained, then get Gaudreau.
He gladly puts on players suited for defense, when we don't have possession.
Having players like Gio, Brodie, and Hamilton in order to play 1F, 2D is generally unfair to the other team, though.
