We don't realy have the ability to run and gun with teams who have elite players. In the playoffs there is going to be less time and space so if the Flames key players can't contribute that is something Huberdeau is going to ha e to figure out. That's why he gets paid the big bucks to be the leader and difference maker on the ice. Huberdeau's inability, to contribute reflects more on the player than the style of play.
The Flames got into trouble in the playoffs trying to be too creative and fancy. If they can play a team game and get contributions from key players that would be ideal; But to change the style of play for one player makes little sense. Johnny G could do it and he was a small player, why can't Huberdeau?
