With our ridiculous schedule so far, there is a case to be made that the Flames haven't had enough on-ice practice with the new system yet (especially Monahan and Gaudreau).
In other words, I think it's still a little premature to judge how some of our young guys will do under this system. They've only known Hartley's structure-less breakaway or die system since entering the NHL so it takes a while to smack those bad habits out of them. The system has really helped our bottom-9 and even players like Engelland who just need to keep it simple. |
Honestly, if the result is another lost season in what should have been an upward year, it really doesn't matter what the reasons are. Other than satisfying curiousity.
