Flames 5v5 play is great, but special teams are in need of a complete overhaul. I find the PP zone entry isn’t as bad as many say, but the exclusive reliance on old school screens, deflections, and rebounds is a waste of this team’s puck moving talent. Set up one timers on at least one side of the ice, preferably both sides. And if nobody is able to shoot in those situations, either practice the hell out of it, or trade for players that can.
On the PK, they allow zone entries with a red carpet rolled out. It is hell on the defenders and goalie and I can’t understand why they haven’t found a way to plug up the blue line.
