Flames and bad face offs are basically a club identity at this point. I feel I’ve only ever known a bad face off team that has occasionally had good faceoff specialists (and by specialists I mean Stephane Yelle).
I’m sure somebody knows the stats, how many years since Joel Otto has been at the club have the Flames been a positive faceoff team? It seems like a perennial issue.
