I love the way the Pens defensemen play. They are such an efficient, mobile, puck-moving group.

What do the Flames need to do to help the Flames' defensemen play more like the Penguins' defensemen?

I think the Penguins forwards don't fly the zone too soon but present good targets for the defensemen.

I also note that Sidney Crosby gets very deep in the defensive zone when the puck is there. He does a great job in helping the defensemen get the puck to the wingers.

It also seems like they play a very simple, straightforward game.
