I read the scouting report that the Kraken had about the Flames and it’s been stuck with me since.

The Flames generate a lot of shots, but typically from the perimeter. They don’t generate much off the rush, they don’t get pucks across the zone much, and they’re more of a pucks on net and try to get a rebound.

At the same time they give up a lot of chances off the rush and they don’t defend well across the zone.

I keep seeing a lot of that happening, and what’s worrying me is how SLOW they look. Both penalties that led to the 5 on 3 were drawn because of slow back pressure. Similarly the Hischer goal was driven by speed and Weegar getting beat outside.

Obviously good shot suppression the last two games to start the game, but the shots they do allow..

I really want to know what’s going on there. It was happening before Tanev got hurt, and I can’t imagine that Sutter isn’t losing it about that.
