For good measure they even got a penalty shot and of course the shooter makes it as easy as possible for the goaltender shooting the puck right into his equipment. It just feels like we have seen this game so many times over the past year.

With the big exception being quality of chances.
The Flames scored 5 on Winnipeg without generating much. Last night they had 10 high danger chances 5 on 5 and 14 overall.
Not a shot volume and control the puck, but find a way to lose scenario.
But do they have the finishing skills going forward? The top line looked pretty ragged last night for the most part.
