It’s a completely unsustainable way to play right now because Mike Smith will have to be the best player every night, probably even more so on the road. Personally I’d clog up the neutral zone like we do against McDavid and put a tail on MacKinnon any time he’s on the ice. This guy is dominating the Flames right now and he’s giving the Avalanche all kinds of territorial edge.

You have to credit the Avs for clogging up the neutral zone, taking away the passing lanes and forcing the Flames to just throw the puck up ice and dump it in. Flames fans are getting a glimpse of why MacKinnon is a top 5 forward in this league. He's the best player in this series and as long as the Flames continue to give him space it's going to make things very difficult.
