It’s very rare for this team to try to gain the zone with possession, or defend our own blueline. We’ve been one of the worst teams at this going back to the start of last season, when the team starting playing a much safer style after getting burned for odd man rushes by Colorado.
Don’t enter the opposition zone with possession, and do a bad job preventing the opposition of entering our zone with possession...Calgary Flames hockey under Geoff Ward. |
This is pretty unbelievable. This is a team that, in order to find success, needs to own north and south hockey and creating opportunities off the rush.
The fact that this is the worst team at obtaining the zone and preventing their opponent says terrible things about Ward.
