Interesting. Can we then counter argue that in the third period the Flames showed that Anaheim can't contain their speed and puck movement from the backend, through the neutral zone, and in the middle of the ice?
I found myself thinking after the second that the Flames were not big enough nor strong enough to play with the Ducks. In the third period, they made it look easy. I am starting to think that "getting pushed around" in the big, heavy Western Conference is not going to be much of an issue for this team.

Yeah, what he should have said was:
when they impose their will, they can control the game with their size.
In the third, the Flames showed that when they impose
their will, they can control the game with speed and skill.
Good teams can take over games and impose their will. But no team can do it forever. And great teams can turn games around and impose
their will, even when being dominated prior.
