You could just tell that by the third game tonight the Jets had the Flames figured out. They knew exactly what the Flames were going to try offensively, and the Flames just didn’t have an answer.
And I’ve thought that going back to the offseason and didn’t want Ward extended then. He proved to me in the series against Dallas that he wasn’t the answer when he was dramatically out coached in that series and made some glaring mistakes.
He really confirmed it tonight though in the third. Doesn’t shorten the bench. Saddles Gaudreau with Nordstrom. And kept mixing up the lines in just the stupidest ways.

If your going to dump and chase, you need to have an aggressive crash and bang forecheck. We are 23 of 31 teams in hits per game. Our system is not suited to the style of soft players over all we now have. If you want to crash and bang, pull out Simon and Nordstrom and bring in Robinson and Rinaldo to go chase it down, gain possession and then GTFO the ice.
