This exactly.
Discussed it all evening with the guy beside me - you? - ...
They move slowly through the neutral zone and wait for everybody to catch up. Then they pass the puck to the outside, and either shoot from there or go around the net and then around the boards to the D.
By then, the other team has 5 guys in the box. So the Flames pass it around the outside until they get bored, then someone shoots it into a shinpad.
Rinse and repeat.
At one point he says to me: we sure do run into a lot of hot goalies.
Me: 17 consecutive hot goalies isn't bad luck... at some point you have to put the blame on the Flames.
And no, it isn't bad shooting. It's shooting from bad areas and not until after the D is set up.
