Get 75% of the loose puck battles and we win.

Every game so far the Flames all just float and let Dallas have it... its one of the most infuriating things to watch. That and backing in and letting Dallas take point shots on net all game long.

Just compete, just battle, just win.
This has been my biggest beef with the team throughout this series. I’ve spent a lot of time yelling at my tv for them to go get the damn puck. When the Flames are I’m their own end they stand around and collapse to the middle of the ice and let Dallas run around like they are on the PP. It’s like they are unable to leave that position to go after a loose puck along the boards. Countless times they have been closer to the puck but refuse to go after it and instead wait for a Dallas player to take it.

Is this a system they are being forced to play?? Laziness? Fear of screwing up? I don’t know what it is but if they continue doing it they won’t win this series. Get in their and battle!!
