Default 5 Most Confusing Teams in NHL

http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/ar...onfusing-teams

Flames make the list :

Speaking of teams paying a price for bad goaltending, the Flames' weakness in net cost them any shot at the playoffs last season. So they went out and fixed it… we thought.
I've always been a Brian Elliott fan, and I've never understood why the Blues always seemed so eager to hand the reins over to somebody else. When the Flames scooped him up at a discount, it seemed like the perfect move for a team that was otherwise well-positioned to push for a playoff spot. Backing him up with the dependable Chad Johnson was smart insurance.


Blue's, Blue jackets, Nashville and Philly too. I'd probably swap Philly out for Dallas.

Anyone still think it was mostly a goaltending issue after the start of this season thus far?

Goaltending was bad last year with the exception of Ramo. Ramo struggled (especially with all the quality chances Calgary's defense was coughing up) at the start of last year. Defense was atrocious and was never really corrected last year or this year. In fact, I would say it is even worse with the departure of Russell. Any defenseman they stick Hamilton with is going to have a bad year.
