One thing they need to do more of is carry the puck out of their own zone, tampa’s forecheck and nz is too clogged to get passes through. Defensemen need to step up and do some work themseves.
This.
Too many 40-60' passes that are easily intercepted or knocked off course. Flames look half asleep.
D to D passes and then up into the neutral zone trap. If they don’t start playing with some pace, I’m not sure how they expect to have any success here this afternoon
