I’ll say it again. You can pass the puck faster than MacKinnon can skate.
Colorado closed on Calgary quickly when the Flames had possession, and anticipated their plays.
Bad decision making and lack of pace were killers.

This is a good assessment. Over and above this it is clear that the Avs buried their chances when they had them. Alternatively, the Flames floundered their opportunities and it cost them. The turn of events in both overtimes illustrate this point well. Game three however was a total write off.
