The Flames offence has apprently decided to avoid the rush and started to do its Christmas slumping now.
Five games into December and the Calgary attack has managed but eight goals, one of which was into an empty net. There are a number of ways to look at the dearth of offence but the best, if slightly simplistic, two-word explanation is: Jarome Iginla.
