Me too, especially considering how the Flames are constructed. The majority of teams in the league are built much differently with bigger defense and more experienced/slower forwards. We have an incredibly talented team but also a very unique team. With Brodie, Giordano, Johnny, Sam and Dougie we have one of the most highly talented cores in the league.
At the same time only one of them is big and capable of strong physical boardplay against the rest of the leagues elite. The Sharks, LA, Washington, Florida, Tampa, Pittsburgh have more size and less dynamic ability.
Considering that Calgary needs to adopt a different strategy than the rest of the league if they want to succeed. With how Brodie can skate and how well Johnny can stick handle we should be using a different kind of attack because no other team really has such a dynamic pairing. What other team has two players on the same line that can skate and move the puck like they can? None that I can think of. Gulutzan hopefully creates strategies that exploit our unique strengths. Maybe Brodie holds the puck and circles back or Johnny caries the puck towards Dougie in situations where other teams would never do the same thing.
