I know there have been positive signs but the team needs to find offense. These 2 goal outputs won't be something that sustains winning long term. I still feel like they are lost on the offensive side of the game. Maybe it will come after they've nailed down this defensive structure but they've looked offensively challenged all season.
Where are all these 20 and 30 goal scorers the flames have? 40 goal scorers? 50?

Last year, the offensive juggernaut everyone is pining for, had four 20 goal scorers, 1 of them was a defender(!) (gio) and one who did it for the first time in 6 seasons (Backlund).

Where are all these high skill players? Colborne scored more goals than Bennett last year and he was replaced with...Chiasson?

This is an incredible example of the disconnect from reality a lot of posters on this board suffer from.

Who are all these high skilled, high scoring players the flames have who are being stifled under this task master Gulutzan?
