It's not a scary PP, hasn't been for quite a while. Need a bomb/QB at the point, a net presence, and some quick movement down low. The Flames are kinda failing in every respect unless JG is on his game and making things happen down low.

That's on point. Gio isn't shooting like he used to and we haven't replaced Hamilton.
Point shots, even when missed create confusion for the dmen, good opportunities for the down low plays and rebounds. But the other problem is that the flames Fs don't crash the net enough. Monahan is the only one consistently lurking near the net. That's not enough.
