Disagree entirely.
The reason the Flames look so slow is because the Avs are playing at a completely different pace. Its why a lot of the penalties are happening. Its also why we are seeing such brutal gap control from the defense...they have to back in quickly when the Avs are transitioning, which leads to lots of space in the middle of the ice,) which leads to shot after shot right down main street or wide open looks from just off the boards. The forwards on the Flames played abysmal defense last night....56 shots against tells you everything in that regard.
