Flames will win game 6 if their best players ( top salaried)are their best players.
Realistically, it’s pretty amazing there is a game 6 if you honestly grade their best players performances up to this point.
Talbot, Bennett, Dube Lucic, Backlund, Ryan, Andersson , Hanifin and Brodie and some others have competed hard and for the most part, played very very well.
The high end guys have to step it up and be the “drink stir” leaders.
That’s NOT on the coaches.
Also, NOT on system or tactics.
It is having the pride and commitment, through thick and thin, to play up to their highest standard and being positive difference makers in the shift, game and remainder of the series.
That’s what good teammates and top performers (producers) do.
Haven’t seen it yet and the moment is now because time is running out.
