Some brutal sequences to end that game. Bennett doesn't get the puck deep. Instead, he lobs it at the Dallas D leading to Stars pressure in the Flames' end. Dube can relieve that pressure but he also floats one to their D.. and to the wrong side of the ice. He can't change. His teammates either make a bad change or get caught on the ice. Gaudreau - who is actually fresh - doesn't even come close to doing the one job he has in this situation as he loses his man. The coverage is so bad that the Flames make a defensive defenceman look like he has the offensive instincts of Bobby Orr jumping into the attack.
Just a total, all-around cluster.
