Tanner glass? Bart? Lol they barely played this year.
While I would want Brodie on right side , he was on the left side when they made the playoffs last year
Do posters realize that they had the same pp last year and it was effictive.
I get line changes and in game adjustments as problems .
And yes bottom 6 , especially 3rd line was crap. Would also add Backlund was crap for 2nd half of season

I have seen this argument too many times and if anything it proves the opposite of what you think it should. The Flames had close to the 30th ranked power play for half the season last year. They made adjustments and had a run where it substantially improves corresponding to a change in the outcome of games. This season rather than continuing to adjust and diversify the strategy, they stood pat. With the best power plays in the league you don't know what they are going to do next and they move the puck and people quickly. If you listen to a Dave Cameron interview, the flames strategy is to put "talented" players out there and hope for the best. The special teams was the public justification for firing Hartley and it would be hypocritical to do anything but the same here.
