Huh? Flames have outscored Dallas 9-6 over the last 3 games. Oettinger has been outstanding, no question. But the Flames offence has been just fine when they have their forecheck and cycle game going and they're firing pucks from everywhere. They didn't do nearly enough of that tonight, which is why they lost. They know they can score on this kid. They just need to bear down and get to those dirty areas, and eventually their superior depth and skill will win out in the end.
