We've stayed consistent in the goals department and based on the volume of shots taken and from the eye test, this team lacks finishers. If you watch the Jets, Leafs or Lightning at all, you'd think the samething as me. Those other teams have multiple players with absolute bombs, we don't.

I think that could be right to a certain extent, but its not just about shooting, generally they lack aggression around the net. Other then MT, i don't see the Flames agitating the goalie enough. I'd like to see the other goalie getting banged around instead of Smitty. That being said even if the Flames score three last night they lose the game, clearly Mike Smith was very rusty giving up juicy rebounds.
