Neal was basically sat out because it actually helped when he wasn’t on the ice, that’s how bad he was.
But overall, I thought the Flames lost a lot of foot races in this series. Colorado had a devastating back check and Flames couldn’t do the same to Mackinnon and etc because he was basically uncatchable. The Avs completely dismantled our team. It really was a debacle.

I noticed as well right off the bat in the first game that Backlund badly lost every race to the puck and was unable to keep up with any of their guys.
Avs v Vegas could be really entertaining to watch but too painful for me to tune in.
