I get that, and I knew someone would have this response, so fair play to you. Nevertheless, you can't tell me that this hasn't been a consistent problem with the Flames since the GG years. Able to control play, lots of shots generated, but no finish when it is really needed.
I feel like it really comes down to top end skill at scoring which the Flames have had a paucity of since Iginla went to Pittsburgh.
On the plus side, we did see Johnny set up Lindholm for a beauty chance, help set up the Lindholm goal, nearly complete the wrap around, plenty of good rushes. If he keeps it up, great. Lindholm played well. Mangiapane and Bennet each had a couple good looks. Chances were there, but its maddening to come up short time after time.
