Being naturally slow like a lot of Flames skaters are and/or being lazy seem like the more likely culprits. As I’ve said in the past, this team’s identity is probably more so “skill” than anything else and skilled players are inherently more lazy, so there might be something to that.

The two bolded points contradict each other.
They aren't slow, they play slow. But I am confident that Sutter will fix that.
