To ‘get better at gimmicky stuff’, you need more high-end talent. You can't teach an average NHLer to excel at 3-on-3. If they had the skill to do that, they wouldn't be average.
The Flames and Oilers had very similar records in regulation time this year. The Oilers are in the playoffs because they can put McDavid and Draisaitl out in overtime. The Flames are out because they haven't got anyone better than Kadri and Huberdeau.
