Tonight is a painful reminder of what the Flames look like when the top line isn’t able to generate offense.

Valimaki has more poise in his own zone then any of the Flames current Dmen outside of Gio. Defense literally ####s their pants against a strong forecheck. That's the book on Calgary, clog the neutral zone and forecheck hard. GG never adjusts or doesn't know how.
