Without putting my Charlie Simmer cliche hat on, good starts to each period will be key for the Flames.
Given the long 24h day already for Vancouver and totally out of routine, if the Flames are able to come out an attack them at the start of not just the first, but the second and the third periods, the Canucks may coast a bit the rest of each of those periods, and even if they are able to generate chances or goals, not really be in it to sustain anything with their usual focus.
