Kipper's been poor for his standards, but what's been worse is the fails along the boards in our own end in the little battles. Our D-men are playing them way too casually. Got to move the puck north the second they get it on their sticks, and not pass it to their d-men pinching at the blue line.
But I think it's safe to say the faster the Flames move their feet, the more they put the Avs on their heels. So if they skate and work hard in the third I think we win this, if they start standing around like they did earlier in the 2nd, and play it sloppy out of their own end, it's not going to be a happy ending.
