Exactly why I would like to see at least 2 or even 3 young players that can score in the lineup. Maybe with a faster, more youthful line-up, the Flames could outscore one more mistake per game?
It feels like the Jets did just that to us tonight.
As long as Sutter remains overly hard on young players, this is what we will get all season long. 3-2 games, win some, lose some. I imagine Sutter has determined that this style of game is exactly what is needed for a deep playoff run, and trusts it will pay off then. Its the only reason I can think of as to why he is being so stubborn.
