Another thing I noticed last night. Flames have the puck, Gio and Rasmus in their zone. Bennett and Tkachuk each start their route, across the blue line then up the boards.
Gio and Rasmus go D to D. Forwards run out of room and have to stop and look back at the opposing blue line. The Flames make an ineffective pass when nobody is in a position to receive one, and promptly turn over the puck.
It’s tough to watch when a team that was so deadly last year has so many plays with the D basically disconnected from the forwards.
Too many zone exits suck
