I was at the game and saw the Avs all over the ice making quick reads to break up Flames' passing attempts in all 3 zones. Stepping in front players waiting to receive a pass that would have easily connected in the last game vs. Edmonton. I think it's a big adjustment from Oilers to Avs when trying to move the puck. In a series, the Flames would have time to adjust.
It was hard for the crowd to get going because there wasn't much room on the ice and no real momentum. Just hoping to see a lucky 3rd period goal to win or tie the game.
