After two years of Gulutzan hockey my big hope for the year was for the flames to play entertaining hockey and for the majority of the year that’s what we got. As good as the team appeared to be I didn’t think they were good enough to go anywhere in the playoffs. It still sucks when they lose though.
The Av’s found their game at the right time of year and with MacKinnon playing his best they were going to be tough to beat. Lots of questions to be asked now.
If Chucky didn’t get hurt when he got crushed early in the second game then where did he go? I’m sure hoping that he was hurt because he disappeared after that hit. And I don’t think having a slower offensive stud like him playing on a checking line against MacKinnon was a great idea.
I hope Monahan was hurt because he was pretty much invisible. Nuf said about him. The defence ? No complaints about Gio, Anderson, Valimaki. Brodie needs to go and Hanafin has been in the league a while now and really wasn’t great.
There are a LOT of holes on this team and Treliving needs to be better! (If he doesn’t get fired for Neal & Brouwer)
So I’m just hoping to be entertained again next year because anything else is gravey
