A win is a win and they found a way which you need to give them credit for. 
 

bjt I’m left wondering what this team wants to be. The flames beat the caps with pace, aggressive neutral zone play, quick re ups and transition. Tonight they were much more passive, slower, and we’re giving up the blueline. Coyotes and Caps are two very different teams but I’m struggling to understand the game plan here. 
 

they were doing it in the first with great success and then they go away from it?

We seem to be consistent over the years in "playing down/up to our opponent".

It would seem that the top 9 is set.  While they played well, they just weren't finishing.

Yotes goalie was pretty good out there, but not making it hard enough on him.

Again we struggle in our zone and get caught for too much zone time.

 

While the 4th line didn't get scored on, they certainly struggled in our zone and exits.

I haven't seen Lucic struggle to make a play this much since the Bill Peters days.

The Rooney experiment isn't working out.

Lewis does have some push left in his game, but I worry when I see that 4th line jump on the ice.

There isn't much point in carrying Rooney for now.

Whatever he was in NY isn't showing up.

That may be from playing with fringe guys, but who knows.

 

Wouldn't it be better to bring up Zohorna if you aren't using the stars from the Wranglers?

He could fit a 4th line role.  Plays C in the AHL right now.

And maybe it's time to sit Lucic for a few games.

He has no pace anymore.
