When the flames are playing well, which they have been for the passed several weeks, their system is not passive at all. As for defending the red line? That's not really a thing.

Forcing teams to dump the puck as close to centre ice as possible, leading to either icing or giving our goalie/dmen time to recover the puck. Or even just slowing opposing forwards down? That's not a thing?
I mean, clearly this is not only a trap league anymore, but it's still a thing.
Ever wonder why McDavid eats the Flames alive? Maybe it's because we let him wind up and will in the neutral zone and skate into our end unimpeded.
