20 corsis happened in the 4 ish minutes Brouwer was floundering about against mcdingus, but in terms of shots it was probably closer to 10 shots against. Still awful but not unbelievably awful.
Shots when McDavid was out against Brouwer was 11-1 in 4 minutes. https://www.naturalstattrick.com/gam...018&game=20003

The top line generated nothing, that's a fact. The fourth line is suppose to be outplayed by the likes of Connor McDavid.

The 3M line did nothing either. The top two lines are the ones who are paid the big bucks. if McDavid dominates against the 3rd and 4th lines, it means the Flames top two lines have to do something against the other lines.

Blaming it all on the 4th line or Tanner Glass is ridiculous. They got caught on the first goal and McDavid got a lucky bounce onto his stick. There were many other shifts where McDavid was dominating against the top two lines that Smith bailed them out on.
Flames got beat by the McDavid line except when they were against 3M. The 1st line was better than the Bennett/Stajan line, but still outplayed.
