Seems to be a lot of Jeff Carter talk here, but the King’s Jeff Carter isn’t Jeff Carter without Anze Kopitar and that’s the Flames real problem. Pretty easy for Jeff Carter to follow up Anze Kopitar after he just spent his entire shift in the offensive zone. That’s what an elite #1 center like Kopitar can do, he sets the tone of the next shift and shift after that and so on and so forth. If it was me, I would certainly love to jump onto the ice with momentum or with a tired line caught out late.
The Flames do no not currently have an Anze Kopitar here to make Sean Monahan’s life easier.
