Absolutley perfect period to demonstrate how terrible the Flames coaching staff is.
Step 1. Don't show up ready to play. This is a theme on the year and coaching absolutley plays a role in game readiness.
Step 2. Come completely unprepared for the fact that the opposing goalie is great at playing the puck. Just repeatedly dump the puck in and let their goalie gain puck possession for the Canes.
Step 3. Everyone knows Carolina is a shot volume team and dthey are going to work he puck to he blue line to get pucks on net and generate offense. Should we pay extra close attention to pressuring the point and tieing up forwards sticks...nopers.
Step 4. Have the absolute worst PP possible. It's not that it doesn't score, it's that it can't even generate scoring chances. It's hard to overstate how terrible it is.
Flames went with a career AHL losing head coach, and an OHL coach for the PP, and both are just watching the team flounder.
This team doesn't play to be good at a single thing. Defensive zone sucks, don't generate lots of offense, breakouts are terrible, PP is a joke. PK is in the top half...woohoo.
Flames go right back to cheaping out on coaches and the results are predictable.
Not giving Mitch Love a chance was the dumbest move possible.
