Really?
I see a team that can't score five on five and can't win the special team battle in any game.
If you look at all NHL teams during the Flames 7 game losing streak the Flames are 7th best in xGA60.
They are not poor defensively.
They are 31st in GF60 on the powerplay in this skid.
Honestly with two key players out and the league's worst schedule to start the season it really isn't all that surprising that a Sutter team is showing up, competing, but doesn't have the firepower to get it done.
