Yes, the break-out pass to Gaudreau who gains the blue line, curls to look for a pass, and is mauled by two back-checking forwards and one defenseman (and this speaks again to the speed of Monahan because JG just didn't have a target half the time) just got stopped in its tracks. So you need a new trick.

Like a fake play in football, you set something up enough times that the other team thinks they know what's coming, then you do a double reverse or a fake punt or whatever. Flames had not even a glimpse of that. There was no other play coming.
