I think the first period was a good indication of GG's system. There was a period of play where Carolina couldn't touch the puck. Flames possession was impressive and received a standing O. That kind of play only works with 100% compete level, which fell off. Maybe it's not sustainable? Not too sure. That said, it was all very low percentage shots and the players seemed more concerned with keeping possession than making offensive plays. Maybe that will come with time though, and it might pay off...
