I have a theory. The Flames game is based on quickness and mobility. Lots of our top players are very good at making people miss in close quarters and with limited time. We seem to read the fluid, crowded ice really well...almost instinctively. It seems like a more passive, static defensive structure takes away that instinctive, quick decision-making play and replaces it with an awkward "reading the ice" mentality. Maybe we need to focus on being faster and forcing the play more on the PP rather than waiting for things to setup.
