The Flames take care of 1
They fail at 2
And because they fail at 2 and lack a dangerous powerplay, three rarely happens

Disagree completely. IE Boston, Colorado, Carolina, Los Angeles, NYR, Tampa beg to differ.
And I’d argue that tough forechecks limit our abilities as in the reduced time in our zone thus the flames don’t take care of point one.
And I’d say that your point three has been a problem for the flames too.
I’d say the flames have problems with all three of the points you make.
Flames are an aggressive team that has little finish and little creativity.
I will argue that we rarely play with a lead and cannot clamp down on a game when we do.
