3 on 3 strategizing is probably Sutter's weakest point because he doesn't give a #### about gimmick hockey.
Not too mad. Flames were at 60% tonight. Still manage to extract a point.
Sutter will have different thoughts.
Markstrom and the Flames both need to figure out their struggles against Canadian teams though. It's getting absurd.

I was thinking exactly that when Backlund was out in the ice before that OT goal. He's OK as a 5-on-5 guy. But in OT, when he loses the puck, you know it's game over. We saw something similar in another OT loss where he loses puck control and the opposition gets a break and scores. There's just too much ice in OT and he's not a puck possession guy.
