I think right now it all comes down to foot speed, time and space and puck battles (random cliche generator)...Flames have to find playoff gear. This is what it's all about...can your team learn to bring it in the playoffs??
I am wondering if a couple on the road isn't just what they need...get away from the super charged excitement and just play.

Yeah I’ve noticed that as well. Flames D are backing up and the Avs are just shooting from anywhere and then they get in down low and win the puck battles and then cycle.
The Avalanche are an incredibly fast team, but the Flames aren’t exactly slow, so the advantage shouldn’t be so obvious right now. The coaching staff needs to tweak some of their tactics right now because with the line matches on the road, Mackinnon is going to eat up the Jankowski and line.
