Man if we can somehow get our defense activated more we win these games . Dallas and anyone that's read thr book on thr flames know we have a hard time getting forechecked.
One adjustment id like to see is the defence skating it out more.....Raz and TJ don't get enough credit for their abilities to do this....cannot even imagine what it would be like if Valimaki could play.
Hopefully Gus is okay...he got shaken up late but kept playing.
Let's burn the tape and start fresh ....best of 3 now.

100% on skating the puck out.
Dallas is anticipating the long passes down the middle or to the boards at the blue line, intercepting or deflecting it most times.
Brodie decided to do just this rather than opt for the pass at one point and it resulted in a good opportunity at the other end. All because the Stars were so set on that pass coming, that he ended up having tons of time & space to just carry it up. Amazing what can happen when your opponent suddenly can't set their watch to what you're going to do next.
When your opponent zigs to anticipate your game, you have to zag.
It's not so much about coaching adjustments, but adjustments by the individual players in the moment. Creativity pays off when the other team is clearly going by their video on your transitional tendencies.
That also includes not drop passing the puck 95% of. the. pucking. time.
