Aside from lacking team speed which was prevalent in nearly every game they won, they're backing off puck carriers instead of checking them all over the ice.
Get back to being checkers.
Oilers are the ones checking, and skating in relatively unchallenged.
There's nervously shadowing players, and then there's actually challenging them with everything you've got. Flames have been doing the former on the defensive side of the game the last two nights.
Scrap everything you've been doing and get back to exactly how you were playing for 6 of 7 in round 1.
