I mean honestly it wouldn't hurt if some secondary scoring showed up. Dubes and Pubes er Yarn need to do something. I guess Dubes had a hit.

 

[lightstorm]

I'm ready to move on from Dube, Hanifin, and frankly Oliver as well. Ras shouldnt be anywhere near top pair.

 

[Bounces R Way]

You just knew Mike Smith was going to get a shutout against us this series.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

This f***ing team had a 2C and a whole ass third pairing to bolster at the deadline and added Jarnkrok

 

[Iggys Dome]

honestly i just dont wanna get shutout by mike fricking smith

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Pretty bad that I get excited for offense when I see Ritchie out there.

And for all the nothing he's given us he has had a regular shift as far as I can tell.

 

[Volica]

This is a team being victimized by the best player in hockey by a huge margin. Soft, soft play for one of the most structured clubs in the NHL all season.

Tanev creates a huge hole on this D.

 

[Body Checker]

One thing Treliving’s never really brought to this team is overwhelming speed up front especially in the bottom 6. Need a couple guys that can fly and have some energy shifts and also get back on the backcheck.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Because no time like the present

Well Jarnkrok is fast and that's it. Seems like an energy guy. Just doesn't produce or do much else.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Wonder how the Saddledome atmosphere is rn

This is actually really true. Even a goal or two for us can turn momentum.

While thats true, Tanev isnt exactly prime Chris Pronger either.

CHI, WPG and even LA do a degree showed what needs to be done to limit his chances but for some reason we just stand around and watch him in awe.

Then again our depth is doing sweet f all while McD isnt on the ice. Shades of the Avs series where McKinnon dominated, but we couldnt compete against their depth and thats what killed us.

 

[KingAlfie11]

Yes, yes he did. The teams who didn't want to touch him with a 10-foot pole are looking rather foolish right now.

Your right but I would look good playing with McDavid right now Lol

 

[Mobiandi]

Our whole forward group is filled with Ryan Nothing-Happenses.

Would be good if Tkachuk could stop taking games 2 and 3 off just because of a strong game 1. This got old years ago

 

[Tofveve]

Wonder how the Saddledome atmosphere is rn

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

A 4-0 lead is easier to erase than 5-0. Let's hope the Flames get their shit together in the final 20 mins.

 

[Dertell]

The defense hasn't played well, but I put that on Sutter. It's 100% his fault. How do you split up the two pairs that work in reality and keep the one that doesn't as is? Makes 0 sense.

Wouldn't hurt to see some offense either. And goaltending.

 

[Tofveve]

I honestly wonder how much of this is truly psychological. I mean we started game one making them look like amateurs. Game 2 as well. Then they took the momentum back at the end of last games 1st period and its like we got wowed by them thinking we're not on their level or something - even though we've blown them out several times. We started playing on our heels, lacking confidence and energy. Hard to know how we turn that around except by hard work and getting shots on their net - maybe a few lucky bounces turn things our way again. Maybe some secondary scoring. Something.

 

[Puk44]

Well...just need 4 goals then we go OT and even if we loose, we get a point. Oh wait...

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Markstrom pulled. Let's hope Vladar being in there wakes these mfers up

 

[Janks]

We need to start the period actually skating. Feels like we’ve just sat back this entire game

 

[JurassicTunga]

Sutter should ask which Flames players want McDavid's autograph, or maybe he can get some signed McDavid jerseys for them too.
