I agree I think this really is a problem. I have no idea why this team refuses to hit but they're either being told not to due to discipline / coaching (which is idiotic) or they're afraid or they're just too small / timid.
Whatever the reason, they need to figure out that good teams play the body. They play the body on the forecheck and they play the body in their defensive end. Calgary needs to figure this piece out, it creates turnovers and it also keeps puck possession.
It's why they get dominated by the likes of Anaheim, for example. I think with McDavid it could be just not being able to catch him though.
