As for the actual game, there's something I'm not understanding but maybe someone with more X's & O's knowledge of hockey can answer. When the opposing team is cycling the Flames zone 5 on 5, why do the players give such a wide berth to the other team?

I'm seeing upwards of two stick lengths between the Flames defender and opposing team player. It's leading to wide open point shots and continued cycling. Shouldn't the Flames close in on the man at some point especially at the point(s) and/or along the boards?

I thought the Flames did a very good job of this. They didn't give the Oilers a lot of 5 bell shots from the point and didn't allow any rebounds or walk off the boards play. They also didn't allow any out man sistuations down low. With a goaltender like we have point shots are no concern, and walking out on a point shooter creates a lot of slot opportunities. The oilers wasted a lot of time on the outside, it might have looked impressive but it didn't generate any scary moments.
