Don't need to be the fastest skaters if you are moving the puck quick, and that's what the team is not doing at all right now.
Very slow passes, lots of circling back and taking too much time to make a read or a play.

Thanks for the link to the video breakdown. The pace with which Toronto attacked, after viewing all of the Flames’ examples from last game was a stark contrast.
They were flat as a pancake last game to begin with and with the weak side D unable to give an option, going 4 on 5 is not a recipe for success. I’m expecting / hoping for adjustments.
Imagine the posters here if the Flames don’t like the strong side they are being funneled in to and drop to the weak side D, though. The sky would be falling because it would remind them of their PP zone entries
