While I agree with a lot of points and think the Flames should be back in the mix if you listen to Huska he seems to speak of a lot of issues that matched the eye test.
Giving up less quality chances especially when its the first shot of the game and allowing the goalie to see the puck and make easy routine saves is something he has talked about.
Allowing the team to be more dangerous in the offensive zone as well.
We may have not given up the most high danger chances we did give up a few too many as the first few shots on net, and often from big breakdowns bad switches and chasing the puck. This often happened after we controlled the flow of play for a long stretch. Those are difficult saves to make.
I think tweaks to the system to give up less quality will allow our goalies to rebound next season to some extent.
