Just saw a couple quotes by the coach and the captain on Twitter:
Geoff Ward:
A lot of issues are solved just by working hard and competing.....
“When we skate, we can play. When we don't skate, we've got no chance in this league.”
Mark Giordano:
Was asked about his team’s identity and he replied with (paraphrased) “this team checks and scores.”
But as I’ve already established in my original post, this team isn’t hard working, so that throws the checking objective right out the window. This team is also ranked 21st in goals per game.
So basically in a nutshell, they can’t check, they can’t score, they’re not fast or heavy or hard working and are only somewhat skilled.
The Calgary Flames = Dime a Dozen Diva
They look like a 7, but they act like a 10. They’re lazy and expect things to go their way without putting in any work. They don’t initiate because they think someone else will and it’s only when they’re down do they get desperate. But now that they found themselves a workhorse by the name of Jacob Markstrom over the summer, they think they can put in even less effort everyday and get the same results. This team is a Dime a Dozen Diva.
