When you make as many stretch passes and transition breakout attempts as the Flames do you are going to accumulate your fair share of turnovers especially now the league is more prepared to face it. The fact that pretty well every player is up in turnovers is simply telling of a league that has caught on to what the Flames like to do. The coaching staff doesn't need to entirely abandon what's worked well for them at times but this offseason they need to come up with a wrinkle or work on player discipline so they make the safer play over trying to force things up the ice.
