My opinion is this isn't a personnel issue. I'm not saying the Flames have amazing dmen and can be a top 10 team, but I think they could be better. A system where you sit around in the defensive end with almost zero puck pressure and just wait for the other team to make something happen or make. A mistake isn't going to work at the NHL level.
I don't see anyone arguing this would be a bottom 5 team without Wolf, and I don't think the Flames are a bottom 5 team. That's why I think Huska is under performing.
i've definitely used a lot of hyperbole when emotional after a loss, but a cold eyes look at how they play eaves me wanting.
