Trying to play that way is Duck's hockey, and is precisely why we lose every game against them at home. He play exactly into their type of game and they always come out on top.
Time for the Flames to skate circles around them and put that skill to use. Make them pay for each penalty they take (easier said then done). Use our speed to speed through the neutral zone and get zone possession. Basically play to OUR strengths, and not try to emulate what the Ducks are good at.
As shown in the LA game, the Flames aren't a big nasty team yet. Trying to play that kind of game against teams who are built that way is a recipe for a loss. Time for the Flames to impose their will against the Ducks. Not the other way around.
