Over the course of the last 270 games the Flames have not had a special teams unit rank in the top half of the league. The PK has been down right terrible since 2013/2014 when they were flirting with the middle of the pack.

The fact the team is getting worse production from these groups now that they're supposed to have a better team is pretty shocking.
So doesn't the fact they have been terrible over a long stretch (over two coaching regimes) suggest it has more to do with the players?

I guess it would be interesting to see from the stats guys, but are there really any PP and PK coaching gurus, who consistently turn around special teams?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
