Someone hockey smarter than me explain please, do the Flames have an offensive strategy other than get it deep, back to the point, bombs away, profit?

Well this definitely reminds me of 2010-2011. Flames sign coveted defenseman in the offseason and proceed to negate any kind of team chemistry from the previous season.

Hamilton is the worst of them though. Hisbcontract/acquisition is eerily similar to the Jbow one and looks like about as useless this far.

I think Hartley's been going with Wideman and Russell as the top unit.

Giordano has been terrible tonight. Again. I'm not sure if his arm is still bugging him but he's going to have to figure something out. Captain needs to lead by example and unfortunately the team is following suit.

Hard for me to judge when, honestly, Gio has looked just as bad.

Team is off. Not ready.

Little bit of hyperbole there, but I am wondering how much the injury cost him going forward. Just doesn't seem to have the strength and ferociousness he had before.

There is the 1st line, make too many passes strategy. That seems to be a consistent staple in the offense

I'm giving this team until the 12-15 game mark to make a serious assessment.

We need to understand how much of an impact Brodie has on this team. Perhaps the most dynamic defenseman on the team, and they really need that right now to stabilize some of the confusion.

I like Hamilton's choice to make his presence felt on the point, opening up some more different choices on the last powerplay.

And that's about all the positive stuff I have to say.
