To put it in perspective ...
Top line averaged a xGF last night of 0.09 ... less than 10% of a five on five goal.
On the season they averaged 0.79 xGF per game, and didn't have a single night at the 0.09 level. Their worst game in the regular season was the Nov 11th game in Montreal at 0.17.
So yeah ... I hear you, and the breeze comment.
Other way to look at it though ... Flames are up 1-0 with their top line playing their worst five on five game of the year! Like the odds of them improving from rock bottom.

Felt that little breeze too. Johnny looked very frustrated out there with little room to move. Playoff hockey. Lets hope he adjusts.
Powerplay also looked quite off as game went on.
The top line did have THE SHIFT at the end of the game to pin Stars at wrong end of the rink. There is that...
Hoping Darryl's got some ideas how to free some space for Johnny.
