To give credit where its due, I think Tippett game planned this one and the players executed to a tee. They knew the Flames would come out and play tough. They goaded the Flames into a couple penalties, took the lead on the power play, and never looked back.
Like I said last night, I liked the Flames energy and work ethic, but they need to be smarter and the top two lines need to be much better 5 on 5.
