Yeah, our forecheck was awful and I think that's what felt so off about last season. We retreated too easily and our plays in the o-zone were typically one and done. When you force mistakes near the opposing net you also get more high quality chances and the Flames didn't do a lot of that so needless to say the huge volume of shots we had that the coach raved about were from perimeter locations with the defenders already set up to limit much danger.

We were just a low danger methodical team without pace that didn't make opposing teams uncomfortable enough.

I hope GG implements exactly what he has up north cause it's just not effective at this level of hockey.

And alternately I hope Peters brings the same style here as I believe he will have better goaltending and more scoring to facilitate what in theory could have worked over there without said weaknesses.
