A Vegas insider on 960 earlier described their messy and porous play as "Edmonton oilers hockey"

The only teams getting outchanced to a worse degree are Montreal, Anaheim, and Detroit. They're a paper tiger. I think they're better than this but their shooting luck is concealing the major flaws with that team. They're shooting around twice the league average at 5v5.

Their defence has really struggled — guys like Theodore, Hague, and Whitecloud all below 40% xGF.

Yeah, that’s the dream though.

Have enough high-end skill that you can find success when you aren’t playing all that well. Over time, team structure gets figured out, and your talent has kept you afloat during that process.

Go Flames go

Starting to get a bit nervous when I see Vladar behind the net to play it.

Turnover machine tonight

[GullFoss]

The #5/#6 defense are ahl quality at best

[Jiri Hrdina]

Well that wasn’t a sneaky good play from Pachal

[Vinsta13]

Hanley should not be playing 2 straight games.

[St. Pats]

Good grief what a sequence of pathetic.

[bigrangy]

Bad team does bad team things

Let’s turn up the tank!

Pachal having a rough night.

[ComixZone]

I legitimately thought Stone’s back was going to bring about an early end to the guy’s career, but he’s on fire to start this season.

Can't be making mistakes like that.

[Mr.Coffee]

None of the Flames forwards are open. They’re all floating around the red line waiting for a pass and are covered. They need to come back to their own zone and break out as a unit.

Maybe he's still a deep Vegas operative... in which case, sneaky.

[dieHARDflameZ]

Well that defensive pairing is certainly embracing the tank.
