Hilarious stuff.

What's the deal Geoff ward?
It was actually Nils Hoglander’s back check that caused the turnover. It wasn’t like he flubbed a pass or anything, it was the pressure that the Canucks applied in the neutral zone all series that won them the 4 game set.

There’s a book on the Flames, a clear weakness and the Avs exploited it which lead them to victory over the Flames in the playoffs. The Jets applied much of the same this season and the Canucks followed suit. You win the neutral zone battle against the Flames and you generally win the game, simple as that.
