Our PP just seems so obvious too. I feel like almost every time I watch a Flames PP, they heavily project where the puck will go and who will take the shot. They have zero ability to control the puck anywhere but the perimeter. When I watch other teams' PPs they bring the puck in and out of the slot, they get the defence moving, they have multiple players open, get the goalie moving etc... the Flames can't do that consistently. They get PP goals from jamming the puck into the net on rebounds. In fact, that's how they get a lot of their goals.
Anyways...the Flames need to consistently score more than 1 or 2 goals to win games. The Flames are now one goal back of second last in the league for goal scoring. They aren't going anywhere with that kind of a stat.

So true. When they're on, they move the puck off their sticks quickly. When they're not, they receive the pass, stick handle it and ponder their options giving their opponents plenty of time to reset and get into position.
