I don't buy that we were off our game because of penalties. Penalties happen and usually when you don't have the puck which has been most of the case for the Flames. Constantly chasing and not possessing. Then to sit back in the last 5 mins of the game with a lead is honestly the most frustrating thing to watch. Play like you want to win, instead we play to not lose.
Rieder has been great for killing and I also think he should be kept on the 4th line. Allow Quine who's more offensively minded to ride with 11 and 88. Top line was decent, they might be coming around.
I've never been a fan of Forbort from day 1. Even Gus, does our PP look better with him on it? I was disappointed we acquired both of them. Speaking of D, Gio has looked awful.
This series is not over so anything can happen but honestly Dallas is not a deep team and we are barely hanging on. This is not a good trend.
