The zone entry is making a world of difference keeping it simple and simple entering the zone with numbers, rather than have Brodie roam at center ice for 10 seconds to find a way to drop pass to Gaudreau to go 1 on 4 and kill off 30 seconds just to gain zone entry.

a. Brodie never"roamed for 10 seconds" looking for a drop back to Gaudreau.
b. The idea isn't to go 1 on 4 - it's to let the primary distributor look for the best opening after the opposition has moved to defend. It's like when receivers run to the line and then back off in football - you scout the defence.
c. The Flames still do it. Like most other teams.
d. Only better than most - Gaudreau rarely fails to enter or find a guy open at the blue line.
