I have no problem at all with the way the Flames are winning right now. The high end skilled guys are doing their thing which is great. They shouldn't need to be cogs in the machine for 20 minutes a game. I would rather see 5 high percentage scoring chances than 10 low percentage scoring chances which seemed to be the game plan earlier in the season.
It depends on getting solid goaltending, which we are getting at the moment and I don't see a problem with that.
It gives me hope that Guluztan is more adaptable than we gave him credit for.

Who is we?
Regardless, if Gulutzan showed anything early, it was he was adaptable. And certainly not all of it worked.
But I think you are dead wrong. The system hasn't adapted, the players have. What we are seeing now is the players understanding the system, and not having to think it first - not Gulutzan changing the system.
Just like jumping on him way too early was foolish, it would be just as foolish to use the last dozen games to project the Flames success over the rest of the season... but it is far more likely the play of the team looks like this than looking like it did in the first 15 games.
