I didn't like the flames game plan and play vs the leafs in game 1. Calgary's advantage over the leafs is their physicality and ability to wear down a skill based team who don't have many players that do well in that.
Flames need to antagonize more scrums after each whistle, need to play the leafs way more physically all over the ice. If they play the leafs as a skill team they'lll lose, as they don't have the high end skill the leafs do. Flames only did that in the last seconds the last game, which isn't enough.
It's so annoying to watch guys like Lucic and Bennett not know their roles yet. If they aren't contributing to scoring chances, which they truly weren't, get in on the forecheck and finish all your checks.
Really want to see a win over the leaves.
Go Flames Go!
