Flames don't have an answer when teams outskate them. They learned this in the playoffs last year, and it was clear in the first game of the season that nothing had changed.
Spotting someone two goals is one thing, but being a total wreck if the other team is skating is another thing. This is where Brodie usually has value, but the HH pair can't take it, and kylington clearly isn't comfortable with a game of this pace. I've thought Ras looked okay tonight mostly.
But there's a bunch of mediocre skaters on the team, and a few of the better guys are just totally checked out. Lucic zilch. Gaudreau zilch. Backlund zilch.
