What a contrast in coaching styles tonight was: one team constantly pressuring, one team constantly turning back; one team driving for the puck, one team waving at it with their sticks; one team trying to win, and one team trying not to lose.
Also, another huge difference: the Knights always had someone in front of the net and as soon as they got possession, the puck went to the net. The Flames, on the other hand, rarely have a body in front. There was a moment I was discussing this very fact with the guy beside me and the Flames got the puck in the offensive zone. The player turned to find someone to pass it to, and there wasn't anyone within 30 feet of the net or the slot. So he passed it around the boards where it was intercepted.
I hate the way we play. I cannot wait for this coaching staff to be gone.
