But it's not indicative of the rest of the series unless the Flames plan on playing at 50% the rest of the way, which I really doubt.

Are the Flames down 3-1? No. It's tied. And this is a damn fine team on the road, as they have shown on many occasions.

There's way more concern and pessimism than there needs to be. I'm basically calling out *those* posters for still to this day being extraordinarily bad at handling a loss. But we were never going undefeated, and we're probably going to lose another one in this series at least, even if we take it. So spoiler alert, hope you're not going to implode when it happens.

A bad game two doesn't mean the Avs have more gears, or that MacKinnon is in an entirely different league than our top guys.

That sort of talk is embarrassing. You seem to revel in negativity though, so have at it I guess. I'm going to enjoy the most exciting time of the year and not dream up and assume worst case scenarios, while disregarding/forgetting everything these players have shown and proven over the year up until this point, like the same miserable posters like to do habitually.

It just gets old, dude. It's been old for a while. And damn right, I'm calling them out on it.
I agree with everything except McKinnon not being another league over our top line guys.
I actually think he is and a top 3 forward in the league.
Johnny is amazing but he's still a level below McKinnon .

Having said that, we are better on lines 2, 3, 4, all defensive pairings and at least equal in net.
We should still have what it takes to win this series when you look at our overall depth of a team.
