I feel the Flames play better five-on-five but fail miserably when the get a penalty. My reason is on five-on-five they do a good job of taking away potential scoring chances. On the penalty kill they try too hard to go after the player with the puck and forget the rest of the players. This causes confusion between the players to stop a good scoring chances as they are all focused on the puck. Also when they get scored on it looks like the team gets scared and make poor decisions on the next two shifts. They need to learn to relax and not overdo things and play a simple game that helps them create more scoring chances rather than trying to do too much with the puck. After taking the lead against Chicago they started to play like they were on penalty kill and looking like they were lost giving Chicago a great chance to tie the game which they did. They need to work on their penalty kill to where everyone knows their role and how to prevent good scoring chances and how to keep their composer when they get scored on so that they do not lose focus a d play their simple game.
