Yep. I counted at least 4 or 5 times on Saturday where he was able to quickly evade a body check attempt and scamper away.
He's obviously found another gear, you aren't going to stop him. All you can do is try to limit the number of AAA chances he gets, but he is going to continue scoring this series. That's almost fact. Flames need to counter with the top line outscoring him with the depth chipping in occasionally. Mangie & Hath did their part in game one. Maybe the d-corp or Janko's line contribute this game?
Still confident the big line will put up a big game performance. Mony's goal may have woken up the beast because we saw the regular season Flames in OT on Saturday.
I freaking love (and hate) playoffs.
