That’s a better question.
Is it to integrate young or new players?
Is it a style they think is suited to the personnel?
Whatever the reasoning is, it isn’t working, and when they can, they can’t sustain it in any identifiable way.
The coaching staff isn’t stupid. They see the results. Everyone is essentially blaming everything & saying to anyone associated with the team, “get confidence stupid.”
Again.
The only option is figuring it out internally and addressing failures when the season is over.
They need a reset some way, some how. I don’t know what will galvanize them, but something had better.

Why are they playing slow? This is a question that has stumped the Flames all the way back to when Bill Peters was still coaching this team. An entire article was written about it during their early struggles of 2019.

Bill Peters' Answer:
"Play Faster."
Some ground breaking stuff from the mind of their former 50 win coach. Just play faster. If he didn't even have the answer, then who does?
