I wasn't able to dig it up, but someone a week or two ago posted a video of coach (Laviolette?) explaining the system element of moving the puck to the weak side in the offensive zone on the forecheck (and then typically to the point). I started looking for this from the Flames, and noticed often they did not send a guy to that spot to make this play possible. And what did Sportsnet just show us? A highlight pack of the Flames sending a secondary forechecker to the weak side! I think Darryl's "adjustments" to the system may be bigger than the Flames have been letting on.
