^ yup, the Flames are standing still in the neutral zone (not to mention playing in a shell, defensively).
Last year they were a transition team, and that was how they generated so much offense. At least until the playoffs, where they reverted to a conservative, chip and chase game.
They have never recovered.
And until they get a coach that has them playing the right way, I don't want to be too quick to run any of the players out of town.
