Because they pass it to the winger, who is standing still on the side boards, every single time.
Easiest pinch in the world for the defenseman, and they do pinch, every single time.
You have to stretch the defense out - you have send guys and move the puck up ice with speed. The Flames did this last year quite a bit, but they are doing it very little this year.
You have to play with speed, and the Flames aren't doing that enough. It's getting better. But it isn't there yet.
