Just have to hope something clicks and they can pick up points against a team they should be better than. If Gaudreau, Monahan, Lindholm and Tkachuk can play the way they can it shouldn't matter what the lines are. If those four, heck even one or two of them, decide they're taking the night off again it won't matter what the lines are.

This cop out style argument is one I roll my eyes at. Just because the coach tries different things and they both don’t work doesn’t mean much.
I will say this. The blender usage is idiotic. It’s all been tried at this point and people need to develop chemistry.
It’s like that expression that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Ward is painting a picture, and instead of a paintbrush, he is using a blender
I read an article where all these wingers talk about playing with Crosby. He would go over plays with them, tell them where he wants them to be, work with them after practice on 2 on 1s and tell them where he wants a pass. He will look at the iPad on the bench and ask guys if they were thinking forehand or backhand
He loved every little detail that gives them a fraction of a second advantage
The Flames show up and have no idea who the heck they are even going to be playing with, much less what their tendencies are going to be.
They are not even trying to do the things that give you those little advantages.
