This team has zero swagger. They dont even look like they are having fun. They dont even seem happy when they score. Its like watching English Premier League soccer. They play slow. No crispness and structure like we had last year. Say what you want about Johnny and Tkachuk but they looked like they loved playing. We played so much faster and balls out despite the lack of playoff success those two played with so much passion and drive last year and were gamebreakers along with Lindholm everyone seemed to be having fun and smiling... Especially Lindholm. I watch the highlight packs around the league and good young guys are scoring beautiful goals and looks like they are having fun. Just watch tonights Ottawa highlights. The Flames just dont. Its perplexing even when they are winning
