If you will take the time to read my post you will see that I have readily admitted as much, when I said that "I will be unsurprised to see the Flames scoring drop a bit with the introduction of a more stringent system."
My contention is with the idea that the Flames are an offensively challenged team that will struggle to score this season with a new coaching system in place. I maintain that any reduction in scoring within a new system will still produce better than average offensive results.
