So far, this looks like Butter hockey.
We're forcing talented players into playing an untalented system. The focus is on dumping it in, slowing down the pace of the game, and taking as many poor quality shots on net as possible. The lack of speed in the transition game is unforgiveable considering it was one of our very few strengths the last few years.
We were told we'd get fast paced, entertaining, puck possession based hockey. What we've got is slow, predictable, untalented rubbish on ice. These first five games have been the worst Flames Hockey I've seen in 4 years.
