Did anyone catch BB's discussion about powerplays in a Sportsnet panel earlier this week? He was criticising teams that never open up seam passes and just continually throw the puck around the perimeter. He said they were killing their own powerplay. Couldn't have been a more apt description of the Flames last season under Gulutzan.
