[Philly06Cup]

Some strategies I would like the Flames to try

-play the body hard on Draisaitl. McD has shown he can be physical and roll off hits. Let's go after Draisaitl. He's still hobbled; hitting him will slow him down. He's also a hothead, and prone to taking retaliatory penalties when annoyed.

-more Amharic curses.

-I noticed the Flames with a lot of cross-ice dump ins, presumably to keep the puck away from Smith. I'd like them to do the opposite -- lob it right at him then skate straight at him. Even if there are 2 or 3 flames around him, I could see Smith still trying to play the puck, and it leading to an easy Mike Smith special.

-bring back purple gatorade power.

-attack the Edmonton Defense. Ceci, Nurse, Keith, Barrie, Bouchard, Kulak... These are not good defensemen. We should be exposing them for the frauds they are. Nurse is a glorified Kris Russell -- goes down to block anything. Fake a shot and go around him. Ceci Keith and Kulak are slow. Barrie and Bouchard don't actually know how to defend.

-get a mole to go to Edmonton's viewing party. Get them to start the wave.
