Thats the key, a relentless wave after wave after wave of forechecking.
He manages the minutes, he manages the personnel. They can do it. And they have the will to do it.

Yeah, it was one of the biggest gripes I had with the Ward, Peters, Gulutzan strategies. Very passive at the point. Like I understand you have to protect the slot chances, but when the opposition have dangerous defensemen that can act as a rover or walk the line as well as the Stars do, you can’t just sit there like a dolt and let them find and create seams. We’ll see how this version of the Flames deal with them this time around.
