To put it bluntly, the Flames shoot themselves in the foot every time they try to breakout. They look to employ a strictly north-south breakout, which leads to the following tactical pitfalls:
All 3 forwards cutting the ice in half for themselves, which eliminates any and all lateral optionality
The 3-forward clump results in turnovers or the necessity to jam pucks up the strong side via chips or dumps
No effective weak-side D activation to provide an outlet for forwards who receive pressure on the strong side or through the middle
‘Tunnel vision’ for the forwards, who, through no fault of their own, see no other options than to just cram the puck up the boards or dump it and chase
