Thanks for the article, Steve, it’s a real pleasure having you here on CP.
I’m not worried that the Flames will be completely shut down for the duration of the series. A save percentage of .950 is simply not sustainable. The coaching staff will have to make adjustments at even strength and on the PP to overcome Dallas’ excellent boxing out in front of the net. And I think Gaudreau needs to get a bit more greedy, he is either passing to players who are less well positioned to score or he is holding on to the puck too long hoping for a pass and then being forced to shoot from a less favourable position. I do think that the lines look a bit out of sync, and I wonder if Ruzycka might offer a bit more on the offensive side than Ritchie or Lewis, when the team is in need of an offensive spark in secondary scoring.
