This is exactly what they shouldn't be doing and actually are. Watch when Vegas gets in the zone, they keep moving, they carry the puck in deep and they throw pucks into the high danger areas, they only go back to the point if they have been in the zone for a while and there is no other option. Now watch us, guys skate around the outside and either fire a low danger perimeter shot or they mostly stand around on the perimeter, the puck goes back to the point for a shot with minimal traffic in front. It is a recipe for disaster. That is why Huberdeau can't adapt, nobody gets in the slot and everything tends to get funneled back to the point.

They must be really good at running goalies!!!

And do they know where they're going and what they're doing?

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Save us Goalman.

[Bonded]

A shot and a juicy rebound. Who’d have thunk

According to you, no.

[GioforPM]

Zary demoted? Or hurt?

[WhiteTiger]

All the banging around seems to have woken Vladar up. He's killing it tonight.

Don't thinknso. He's been fine. If anything his previous injury may be nagging a little.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Lindy with some chances.

No, back with Kadri. He was replaced by Ruzicka for a shift for some reason.

I hear what you are saying, but I think we miss the net entirely and constantly trying to pick corners. Or hold it too long and don’t get a shot off at all.

In theory I agree with what your saying, but I think that’s another 20 games to get them to change. And change has been slow. I’d rather see them work on a small correction and add in wingers skating to the posts. to net some dirty Dino C type goals.

[Bonded]

Damn. Both goalies good

[Fourteen FTW]

Case in point. The 2 on one. Like he said. Shoot that baby and crash

[dammage79]

Sharangovich needs more ice time!

[Fourteen FTW]

Like Coleman. And Lindy the other night.

[St. Pats]

Finally after a long wait some action.

[FanIn80]

Flames are weird combination of being a puck possession team that doesn't really know what to do with puck.

[Bonded]

Thought they were going to get a goal for sure

[Enoch Root]

The Flames don't need to shoot from everywhere - that's the one thing they DO do.

They need to pass more. And less.

They need to pass into the high danger areas in front of the net, and across the royal road.

And they need to pass LESS around the perimeter and back to the point.

[Burning Beard]

Coleman is all over it tonight.
