From situation to situations, game preparedness and willingness to adjust or adapt is what I am looking at here and seeing no evidence of it.
Frolik may not have been under pressure on the play that he went to throw it towards the goal line for a defender or perhaps use Smith as an outlet, but that is equally a coaching error as it is a brain fart from Frolik.
Frolik’s error was pretty bad, but the flames turn a tonne of pucks over at both blue lines and turnovers at the blue line are killers. But the entire flames system for a breakout is built around a pass from the defensive half boards to the middle and then a pass into the neutral zone. It’s a recipe for disaster as all another coach has to do is recognize when the carrier is goin to pass across the blue line or try and skate it out from their own end, layer the forecheck into a 1-1-2-1 or a 1-1-3 forecheck but push up to the blue line and it causes immense pressure on the Flames breakout, because of its predicatability. This is what happened to Frolik and he panicked, uncharacteristicly, but none the less.

Sorry man not that convincing.
You haven't explained what adjustment the other teams have made to get Frolik to brain fart and Smith to become a sieve.
Is that still coming or have you moved on to blue line turnovers and the break out?
If you're paying so much attention you shouldn't have an issue with explaining what the adjustments and consequences are.
Meanwhile I'll just rely on little things like facts ... shots, shot attempts, scoring chances and continue on my way not paying attention.
