It also doesn't work because everything coming from the point needs big players to screen the goalie, almost all of our point shots have no screen. You could even have your 3rd and 4th lines playing always back defence first if you want but your top 6 has to be able to create offence and they can't under this system. This is Darryl Sutter hockey without the shot volume. It's fine for a large physical lineup but it doesn't work with this forward group.

Flames are currently 10th in shots per game. So I'd say it's still exactly both versions of Darryl Sutter hockey which IS the problem
Perimeter shots , no traffic and no one with the balls to stand in front of that net prepared to die for rebounds etc etc etc
Yesrs we had success and went deep we had those guys. Those guys were here a long time ago too. That's how long it's been.
