I rarely post in this forum but just want to add my observation to the team so far. I am a Flames fan since late 80s growing up in Canuck land so sucks can't really show my colors and cheer as much. But after watching the Anaheim game I don't think the system is like Brent Sutter style dump and chase nor the pond hockey loosey goosey style of Hartley's. I think GG is more hybrid between both. I believe it is a players thing at moment that top players now are thinking too much and more making safe play than more high risk plays. I don't think GG restricts them. Example from last night is I saw many times Kulak took puck from defensive zone to offensive zone to maintain some offensive pressure. Brent Sutter system I think would not allow D to start rush like that if I recalled. In past couple years under Hartley our top guys like Giordano, Brodie and Hamilton would do that countless times. I think they are either told to make safe play more or knowing they got burned so much already this year to get it out of zone as priority. But in agreement like the rest of this board special teams is hurting us. I hope they can Cameron's at least. Was he GG hire or Treliving?
