I don't for a moment blame ‘the coaching staff who would throw this bag of hammers out onto the ice’. Those hammers are all they've got. The Flames' defencemen in particular are offensively gifted (except for Engelland), but lack the size and toughness to be equally effective defensively. The forwards are no great shakes defensively, either. There is no Robyn Regehr on the blue line, no Stephane Yelle at forward.

I'd question whether any coach could come up with an effective PK system given the personnel available.
