McPhee is the real genius behind the curtains. He chose players specifically who could play fast, react fast and defend fast. The Flames are built the opposite, we’re slow, lack skill and play with a lot of edge that in turn leads to a lot of penalties.
Our PK isn’t good enough to allow so many good teams PP opportunities to hurt us. But we do and we’ve done it 2 years in a row by leading the league in penalties. Could you guys imagine how many less goals we’d allow if we took less penalties? We’d have more wins that’s for sure.

Can you imagine how many fewer PP goals against if we didn’t put Brouwer out there?
The PK isn’t good so your solution isn’t to fix it but to instead just “take less penalties” that’s only solving part of the problem, because penalties happen and you have to be able to reasonably kill them off
