Favorite part is when some try to dissect and criticize systems. LOL.

Strong play and high energy period by the Flames.

So naysayers will say, this is exactly the issue. The fundamental premise of naysayers is that GG hockey controls the play but doesn't generate enough top quality scoring chances. There we're no high quality odd man rushes by the flames (2-on-1s, 3-on-2s, etc), the PP didn't force MAF to make any high quality saves.

When the shots are 19-6 and the flames don't score...i think it actually suggests the nay-sayers are right...

So just to summarize

• That's two goals for the VGK on odd man rushes by my count...and none for the flames
  
• And that's one goal for the VGK on the PP and none for the flames
