Twas searching for a thread on Hartley's current system for the Flames but I didn't find one.

Anyways, as a person that has zero to little knowledge about hockey systems, I often found it interesting on why/how the Flames' system has had such great success some nights, and then on other nights just the absolute opposite.

Is it because for this system to work, every player has to be playing PERFECTLY and be completely in sync with one another? Or is this system just that easy to counter for teams? Maybe it's some other factors like confidence that affects our team too much to tell if the system fails or not.

I apologize for making you guys do most of the grunt work for the knowledge of this topic but it truly interests me and I would love a good discussion on the current Flames system, both offensive and defensive.

Thanks! Discuss away.
