What's going on with the Flames' passes lately? Seems like every time one of our players tries to complete a pass, it either ends up in someone's skates, gets intercepted, or the guy receiving the pass bobbles the puck, resulting in an odd-man rush the other way. I've noticed this a lot with Gaudreau lately, and this is a guy whose puck handling skills are usually 2nd to none. So what's the issue? Are these guys just over-thinking everything?
During that great stretch when they were winning often, we saw lots of hard, crisp, smart, tape-to-tape passes, and their offence looked much more dangerous. Now the only time they ever look dangerous is when when they're on the PP, or the odd shift when Backlund's line is on the ice.
