Heat map last night was telling in my mind.
Some will say it's coached this way ... I think it's a clear difference between two teams in talent.
The Flames had the higher concentration of shots in from of the net vs Montreal's in front of Calgary's net.
But Calgary had more shots from outside the high slot, while Montreal had more shots high in the slot.
Getting the puck to the high slot takes a one on one play to beat a defender or a great skill pass into that area.
Calgary doesn't have that roster.
So they get pucks to the net and crash and bang.
